I have 4 206L4's in my fleet, 2 with TRACs and 2 without. (TRAC's is Tail Rotor Authority Control system--basically it take s a feed from the transponder and adds temperature to get DA and pre-pitches the TR from 3,000 to 7,000'. So at 7,000' DA my pedals are in the neutral position). This is the performance I get on one of mine...
I used an average weight of 2,600 lbs which includes our fire equipment etc. (First aid kit, fire shelter, survival pack)
1.5 hours fuel plus 20 min reserve
200 lb pilot
OAS download is basically a 180 lb download for safety.
To see what we can actually lift, consult the HOGE J (Jettisonable) portion.
This is based upon a zero spec engine---ours are running an average of plus 10 on the power checks which in reality means we can add another 125 lbs give or take.
