" I was also trained to land (if necessary) in confined areas with the 350 b3 with hdy's off."

I would be very careful about doing that - it could invalidate your insurance, depending on how tight the area concerned is - this is what the flight manual says (at least the one I have here):

"Make a flat approach over a clear landing area and land with slight forward speed."

This came up on my TRE check ride for the 206 - the examiner said that the CAA would expect a professional pilot to hover the machine and land it on a normal spot. I had to point out that the flight manual didn't allow that. As far as I am aware, most flight manuals stipulate a run on landing with hydraulics out.
