Hmm. I'll try to notice that the next time I take her for a spin.

Colud be that I've been there during instruction. Wasn't particularly impressive, though.

Definitely never been there.
Maybe our ROD was lower or we still had some forward speed.
Anyhow, my recollection of "ROD 800 fpm" must be wrong then, nerver ever did we do anything that shaky.
The only thing that actually made me hold my breath was when the examiner, one our way home from the check flight announced that "we'll do an auto together". As I've no idea how that shoudl work, I obediently nodded and simply "felt" te controls. He ripped her back, I'd only see blue sky in any direction (hence we mut have been verticall on her tail) , and did a nice autorotation to a soso power recovery.
