John - looked at the chart you mentioned - just like the one from the Sea King - higher AUM equals higher Nr in autorotation because you are falling faster to extract energy to spin the rotor - then you raise the lever to contain the Nr which helps reduce the RoD - if you didn't the RoD would be higher for a higher AUM
