Over torque?

Meh, perhaps. As far as the future of EMS/SAR crew ops in Australia, there is going to be a point when the larger operators accept the requirement for two pilots and a crewman, predominantly driven not by the SPIFR requirement,but by CRM issues related to NVG ops. If aircraft power becomes a liabilty due crew and mission equipment weights, you would expect to see older machines upgraded to the new generation utility twins and high perf singles.
