Energy - cyclic aft.
in the FAST CRUISE
on engine failure - lowering the lever would require aft cyclic movement to maintain attitude (due to the asymetric proportionate pitch change, since the advancing side pitch is MUCH lower already than the retreating side, and the collective pitch reduction would be proportionally greater on that advancing side, leading to a change of plan of rotation in the in the forward pitching direction)
Not moving the cyclic aft as the lever is lowered would become the equivalent of pushing the stick forward - since it would be further forward than the reference position which would result in no attitude change.
Pushing the stick forward results in lower g (which could be quite violent - and disasterous)
Lowering the lever also results in lower g.
Lowering the lever without simultaneous aft cyclic is the equivalent of 'bunting' forward at the same time as unloading due to lever lowering - potentially DISASTEROUS.
So (TC) aft cyclic should be hand-in-hand with lever lowering in the fast cruise - and it is potentially dangerous to suggest otherwise. Rapid lever lowering with no simultaneous aft cyclic could be a major problem. (agreed not as bad as not lowering the lever at all)
Also there is approximately as much Kinetic Energy in the 10kts from 120kts to 110kts as ther is in the first 50kts - good use of Energy is the second part of what autorotation is all about. You start with Energy distributed in Height, Speed and RRPM - you consume it at a rate that depends largley on your speed (and pitch) and the trick is to apportion the energy as appropriate for the circumstances - at the bottom the pilot decides whether he wants to apportion his remaining cushioning energy for a gentle vertical closure rate or spend some degree of it to reduce the horizontal componet of his Kinetic energy.
{Since Energy is the resource and Power required is the (time) Rate of Consumption of Energy , THEN: Energy becomes Time. In some cases time to establish steady autorotation , in other cases Time to cushion.}
TC I note that you have more than average Autorotations but if you had about 15 times that you would probably find that you still have some room to develop - THEN perhaps you should write your book on the subject.... You are very firm about your opinions - to the point of unjustifiable rudness IMHO
