gasperh90 Torque limitations nothing to do with the engine. The C20R produces
450HP, the 206 (Jetranger) transmission is limited to 317HP (100%) for 5 mins and 269HP continuous ie.85%. The engine is never working hard,.even with the C20B.
A further transient limit applies because of bending moments in the M/R mast,that
is speed above 85% torque is limited to i think - 80 knots. Its 15 years since i owned
and flew Jetrangers so memory fading a little !!
