212man.....Nice IAS

Not being a whizz on the new 155 technology....most mediums experience a drop off in VNE as the DH gets higher...in the B412 it can drop off anywhere from around 7 - 20 knts depending on the OAT at 6000 ft.

With your slick machine at over 6000 with that impressisve IAS, does Eurocopter account for a decrease in VNE as Bell does??

If it does....how close are you to VNE???

[Basic VNE = 175??]
