Steve,
Good point - can`t really remember why - but definitely told to advance throttle slowly, so used the 40% as in run up. I guess you don`t need anymore on your mind in the auto, with the ship yawing all over the place.
Thanks KennyR for the explanation - I haven`t EOLed any machines on a grassy surface - so not too sure how it would react. In an R22 for instance , with run on, couldn`t the skids or shoes dig in too hard and cause a roll? I`d certainly feel more comfortable in a 206, but in the UK I see some training schools doing full ons to grass in R22s. I admit they must take into account conditions i.e. wind, time of year, is the ground wet ? etc. Does that mean no full ons in the winter/wet months? (90% of the year for the UK!)
Cheers
