Can we all agree that the situation described by Nick is as a result of overpitching and not LTA.
We´ll NO, NO and again NO!
Read Blender pilot´s post carefully. He and I in another post have been trying to explain to you that a 206 with fully functioning engines will not "drop" Nr easily!
Just because Nick is convinced that everything bad in the world is beacuse of LTE in the 206 series then it does not mean that he´s always right.
The 206 series have a pretty powerful engine for it´s transmission (exception 206L ´straight´). The transmission rating in a L model is 500 hp and the C30 engine can produce 650 hp. The ´TwinRanger´ has two C20B engines 420 hp each so the pilot has potentially 840 hp available at ISA.
Even if you overtorque the transmission by 120-130% the rotor RPM will NOT decay because the engines are a long way from reaching their power limit.
On the other hand if he had some sort of power failure one could argue that he did overpitch the rotor for the power available and thus loose rpm both to the tail rotor and main rotor. But what was the guy to do? He is probably like me, does not have superhuman fast reflexes and able to analyze what the problem was in a split second and put the aircraft back in the ring! Sometimes it´s much easier to watch the video and after the incident sit back and tell the pilot what he did wrong.
But in my opinion the incident did not happen due to LTE in a fully functioning aircraft as a result of RPM decay!
