For Cat "A" Elevated Heliport takeoffs, the S76C+ is lifted sharply and vertically out of the ground cushion to 50' Rad Alt; a tone then marks TDP and you immediately rotate smartly nose down to about 22 degrees. You are committed at the instant of cyclic input.
Yes Rotordude, a pilot recognition time interval is a necessary part of the process. But for this type of take-off you've got to go for it and you've got to nail the numbers; if you hesitate it will be messy.
No, the passengers don't like it much...
