They are.
76s come in various models with different gross weights and power-plants of various HP.
This means that some, notably the 76 A, don’t have a huge surplus of power available in the event one donkey resigns. the 76A ++ , 76 B, 76 C++ and 76 D have a much better margin to play with in the event of mutiny in the engine room.
Various departure and landing profiles can be flown and the debate over which is safest is ongoing.
Factors such as wind, temp, gross weight, space and drop down height available for an abort or flyaway not to mention company SOP and TC regulation.
Best wishes in your future aviation endeavours.
Remember if in doubt …RFM and if that doesn’t work ask and listen. 90% of pilots will be happy to answer ( time permitting ) ….but take a grain of salt with the meal.
“Common Sense Should Prevail”:……Ask yourself ….”Would I do this with my dear mother aboard?”
Oh …..never forget the hover check and clearing turn before attempting aviation.
