B72, you may want to resurrect heli aerodynamics thread or start your own.
It's gone way off topic/name of this thread.
Oh, btw, I know that due to your aviation background, you want to have things clear, but you're way ahead of flight portion, from briefly skimming through your posts. Not to mention the MAP setting is rough guide, which changes with conditions, total weight of helicopter, IAS desired etc.
Welcome to helicopter community, btw. I also fly planks and gliders, so I'm not condescending pure heli pilot, haha. Just that flying rotary tends to be more fun, but also one has to be more careful as more things can go wrong. But for time being, you got the FI next to you to watch out for that and train/mentor you.
In R22/44, you leave 'fine tuning' of throttle to governor, so long you're not doing abrupt inputs to collective or restricting the movement of throttle by governor. You'll be concerned with throttle on start up/shutdown and practising for emergency, ie autos, hover autos, stuck pedal running landing, (GENTLE) low rrpm recovery practice etc.
