Are you qualified to fly a helicopter?

"Yes" to all three questions.
With respect to the first question, the point I was trying to make was that there should be automation associated with showing the pilot where the limits are and you didn't appear to agree with that position and, worse, you tried to equate a simple MP gauge with an FLI (or MLI, if you prefer). In both cases I find that ridiculous. That is a far cry from merely confusing a minor point of lexicon, i.e. FLI vs. MLI, both of which perform the exact same function: fully automating the process of indicating to the pilot how much power is being used, and how much power is left, before one or more applicable limits are exceeded, be it torque, time, temperature, pressure, etc.
