Slight thread drift here, perhaps, but:
Also the old chestnut of putting the lever down to preserve RRPM crops up. (though also ideep in HVcurve too).
Why is this an 'old chestnut'? It works a treat in something with a bit of rotor inertia. I've practiced these in the Bell 205 from a high hover (say 60-70 ft) and you're not going to sit there with the lever up waiting for the rotor to stop, you'd put it down as far as feels good (to balance ROD vs Nr as per your good judgement) and then cushion at the pucker point.
