Can't say I have. I'm gonna guess its using the pedals (or more likely PCLs)? I do know about moving the left pedal first before lowering the collective to land.

I like flying helos better once I learned to fly them...It was something about having to FLY them instead of trimming it out. As with anything both platforms have their advantages and disads..
Hovering in a 67/57 is a little harder than hovering in a 64D...all I do is pull pitch to hover height and engage the hold modes....from there "George" does the rest. Hovering really does become second nature....plus you can't beat flying all glass with 40 different pages to choose from on each MPD

Remember, making pedal inputs by the 101 pounds of force on one foot, 100 pounds of force on the other is not the best method.
Yup, using the pedals. I can't remember which one, but I think it's the left, since that steals energy. You have to have the hover steadied out or some slight forward drift, but it will settle right down to the deck, then you can lean on the collective to get it to go all the way down and be stable.
I've had to do one or two 1.0 hover checks which get really boring really quick. You find many different and creative ways to do box patterns to pass the time.
