That's quite a leap to make from my (admittedly weak) attempt at humour!

 

Cheers,

:) Certainly "dad".

 

The specs as published by Bell are can be achieved work under "ideal" conditions.

 

Put the machine under 50-55 kts, and things change.

 

Drop below translational lift or try an OGE hover and the aircraft performance "dramatically" changes.

 

As almost 100% or most of my/our flying is mountain, higher D.A. and,confined area operations on a line....... going OEI when in tight quarters close to the ground with bad winds make the published charts redundant, to say the least, especially working single pilot, in a multi engine aircraft from the left seat.

 

Cheers, H56

 

Loggers, eh, - ya gotta love'm!
