He was a very experienced pilot, although not offshore.
Yes, actually if memory serves it was 125% but only for a sec before I could get the collective down.
Yeah...hindsight is 20/20. The approach and subsequent go around did not put the a/c in danger, the problem was the mishandling of the power for the go around. I take responsibility for not anticipating this action by this pilot.
