I'm curious to know how the pilot is supposed to have a 10% power margin when he has no way to calculate how much power it takes to hover IGE or OGE (at least from the FM charts I know are out there).
And the power available will change dramatically with OAT.
How exactly do these guys calculate the power required and power available to know they have a 10% power margin?
