@Lucing - not operating in a tropical country, still, the first twin helicopter I fly designed with power to spare.
In situations, where the BK117B2/C1 needed take off power or wasnˋt even capable of hovering out of ground effect the H145 T2 mostly operates below the blue line, which means within OEI 30 sec range.
cruise 2x74%, OEI 150% 30 sec, 143% 2 min!!!!
The only drawbacks - comfort, itīs vibrating and you have to be vigilant to reduce from T/O Power to cruise passing Vy cause the bird is accelerating quickly - and past Vy +20 you ˋ re back to 2x74 MCP limit from 2x95% T/O Power (104,5 transient)
