get down to about 50 ft agl, employ Vuichard, exit VRS at 10 ft
Fantastic! We haven't had a good Vuichard punch up on here for at least a couple of weeks. Of course if Vuichard didn't work for the guy before you (smoking hole in ground etc) there's always autorotation as a gentler alternative...

Actually in an R44 you'd have to be trying pretty hard to exceed the sea level Vne, as in nose pointing distinctly downward. I don't think full 5-minute power would get you there in level flight.
