True enough Steve76!
On the last bit of the approach, I tend to load up the disc to achieve as you stated, a comfortable 500fpm rod. For myself, I am comfortable PASSING 50 kts/ 100 ft and then decel. further to 35 kts....disc loading up more.... approx. 40 % torque. All that's left at the bottom is a slight aft cyclic input..about 10% nose up flare.... level and pull pitch into the hover.
Regarding your post about the junior co-joes. Try having them fly around at 35kts level flight. Maybe that will show them power and airspeed control at the bottom end of a textbook approach.
Maybe it wont!!! What do I know??
P.S.
Tis true about the oil pumps cavitating with I believe a left pedal input/ out of trim approach.( A models as far as I recall)
