Is your understanding of that aircraft specific to AS350?
Because if you are applying that to helicopter EOL generally, the S76 RFM would disagree with you on that. And I would also, having done many hundreds of EOL in the 76. 100kts and 90% RRPM will get you considerably further than 75kts (or 100kts) and 107% RRPM.
