Didnt mean to cause offence old girl, but, one can only speek by one's upbringing, dont you know. SORRY.

We currently operate to a reduced AUW limit simply because of the landing sites we operate to. IE +40 2500 agl no run onn/off
you either call the landing on take off or you dont go(hence chucking pax off before you lift)

If you are solo and do not meet the weight, then the Cof G is all to pot and you probably wont be able to go as fast as you would like and it all gets a bit interesting.

After a bit of advive, normally we will not contemplate lifting in a 212 in the jungle if we dont have 20% in hand, due to the fact you will have to do a 150-250' climb to clear the canopy and then a little bit more to transtion.

What sort of margins where you working to in your time on 212?

Cheers
