I fail to see why an EOL will be any different if the helicopter has 1 engine or 2 engines or 3 or more engines if they are all stopped. A Wessex 5 autoed the same as a Wessex 1, a Bell 205 much like a bell 212 & a Bolkow 105 much like most non bell singles. Once you are good at autos, it hardly matters what the helicopter is.

Pulling back the cyclic in the cruise sounds stupid to me, why slow down if you needed to go faster for range for example. Get into the auto & then see what your best options are.
