Mmmmm....
Well I am going to have to side with Oracle on this one .....
The company I work for has also been advised by Bell to do the 100% Nr operating RPM thing and it makes quite a difference!
With 15 odd 412s (mostly EPs) it has made life much easier for the maintenance crews and with our higher (than most) DA ops it seems to me the aircraft like it better too!
Cheers
P.S. ...... just 'cos Bell have advised the operating RPM change does NOT mean they
have to ammend Flight Manuals to reflect that opinion.
