Rotor Droop

Just to throw another angle on it.

Quote from the book

Exceeding the limits of 810c TOT or 100% may cause N1 topping with resultant rotor droop.

And all the beeping in the world wont get you out of than one!!!!

Can you imagine @ 50feet and the N1 starts to die a death.


I think the bottom line is that as a pilot if you are depending on the beep to give you another 2/3% on the NR to get you out of a spot. Just shut down and drive home.
