Hone22. .. .As papagolf said, I have used the same numbers and it works well for the B206. A suggestion for any aircraft:. .. .Pick it up in the hover, ideally nil wind, and note the power required. Then take off and climb to 500' AGL, establish the aircraft straight and level at a reasonable airspeed, I use 60 Kts. Note the power required again and the difference between the two (hover vs. 60 Kts at 500 AGL). Just add that power doing a prelanding power check for HIGE nil wind at around 500' lower. You can also do the same regarding additional weight: Hover nil wind at X weight, note the power then do it again with another 100Kg or whatever. After awhile and quite easily you can develop your own numbers to use. Hope this helps!. . . . <small>[ 09 March 2002, 05:47: Message edited by: the coyote ]</small>
