'they' don't insist on perfect EOLs anymore.
Nigelh's classic arguement is in play here, he says (and he's right to a point) more helis are damaged from practice EOL than from engine failures so that result would count as ok from that perspective.
Personally I think that a pilot should be able to perform an EOL without damage, since it reflects a level of handling competence. It's a rare event and it should be a non-event. That said in a sticky field you'd have to arrive stationary to guarantee not falling over.
Handling is the key. Go to someone who knows how to fly well and get them to help you improve your handling skills. A 'Prof Check will not do that, 'done right' it assures a uselessly poor standard, possibly wasting everybodies time? It was conceived as a training opportunity and has been hi-jacked into a 'test'.
