Mr. Jaba is correct. The 1" a minute theory is a very over simplified explanation used to stop learners from wrecking engines. When we are flying the 210s in hills down low we vary from 25" back to around 20", maybe 19" at the lowest to fly down the other side. We find there are not any shock cooling issues doing this. I dont think going from 24" straight back to idle is going to do your engine any good however. Mind you, in the 210 if you are in an L model and you enter the circuit at 150-160 knots, 24" on the gauge, you will be flying around for awhile to get the speed back to get the wheels and flaps out at 140knots. Just slow her up a bit so you get to the circuit with 20 inches on and you wont break too much.
With the 206, from what I can recall, heavy load, aft CofG, dont put full flap out, because if you get too slow, you will run out of forward trim, the only solution being full power to get enough air over the elevator.
