TC...I read my original post again, the one which seems to have offended you, then I read your reply and I stick by my original statement....."if you don't know what you're talking about......". I still don't get the overtemp though, seems to me the last thing you'd want to do if you were "stuck" in a helicopter would be to pull full power. Ever hear of dynamic rollover?
Randy G brings up a good point that some of the heli-ski pilots use the no-hover ldg technique, and I use it from time to time as well. To clarify my response to hoverbover's question for the benefit of Randy and others, these heliski guys are very high time mountain pilots, with heaps of experience flying in winter conditions. The person asking for advice in this forum has very little winter experience, and my response was tailored to that level.
BTW Thomas, to answer your off-handed comment about my lack of experience and having read about some of these things..... I'm a mid-time (just under 8K) ATPL who has spent most of his time in Western, Eastern and Arctic Canada, among other hot spots. And no, I do not currently share my lack of 'quality experience' with others on a professional basis.
