Because you have to in a Robinson.
To use an accident involving a 109 to further the juvenille Robbophobia amongst the internet experts is just a testament to the true character of these types!
On the other hand, from the sidelines (because I will be forever stuck in Robinson-land) I have seen some evidence that when folks transition into their first turbine gig they get a little drunk with power, so to speak, doing a lot of max. performance departures, etc., etc. There could be some feeling of invulnerability there given the vast difference in performance. While that might lead to certain types of bad outcomes, it should still not play into IMC related negligence.
This was not my exerience when I climbed into my first turbine,...or second.
