Are you qualified to fly a helicopter?
Is English your first language?
I tend to agree. A turbine helicopter has three possible limits - Ng/N1, Tq and T5/T4/TOT/ITT Add another engine and borderline ambient conditions, and you could be hitting two different limits more or less together. E.g max Ng on one engine while max torque on the other (I’m mainly talking about take off or OGE hover).. This is when an FLI really comes into its own. How many limits are there on an SE piston aircraft? Observe MAP limit per placard and?
