I don’t care where the nose is pointing except no where on the non-power pedal side.....for a situation where I have an excess of tail rotor thrust that affords a left of center to aligned orientation.

Maneuver the aircraft to arrive at the minimum forward speed with the nose aligned with the direction of travel.

Excess thrust can be minimized by reducing MR rpm to the bottom of the power on green arc.

Making a long shallow approach to a foot or so off the surface and decelerating very slowly till the nose is aligned or the aircraft is in a stablehover....the landing and then carefully reducing rpm to idle/flat pitch....makes a Bobby yer Mum’s brother!
