This is brilliant. Can I now throw something else in.

Do you mean 'power applied' or 'pitch applied'? What would happen if you're in auto (say an EOL), and having levelled the skids, keep 10 knots across the disk and lift to cushion the landing?

I don't suppose VRS would have much time to develop, and it isn't the kind of thing I'd want to try at altitude (I've done the exercise in a -300 with bringing the rpm to the bottom of the green, and the gauge became more and more interesting the further down it went).
