already possible Let Pilot George Land!

Would it be possible to have Pilot George gently touch the aircraft down when in H-B with the radalt height set to zero feet?

In the interest of both good CRM between human CPG's and Pilot George, as well as for the benefit of front-seaters who can't actually fly helicopters, it would be useful if Pilot George could be tempted to land the aircraft. This can sometimes be done by going to radalt height 0 in H-B mode, but this sometimes results in George floating a couple feet above the pad. This then requires you to either switch to the rear seat (resulting in an ungraceful powercut and plonking it down onto the pad), or to try and coax George down with a bit of a rear slide which grounds the tailwheel (resulting in an ungraceful powercut and plonking it down onto the pad).

You just need to wait. He will land eventually

Edited to add: it takes about 30 seconds in total, 10-15 seconds after he reports "at altitude"
