Now that we had the chat about the CAT A 102% thing...

1-Can we also say that the reason we must(by flight manual) use 102% for Hoist & External loads ops. is related to OEI scenario and not rotor lift in hover?

2- Why don't we have an airspeed limit to arm floats in the supplement, is it tested up to VNE??

3- If you know that while in hover you are going down if engine quits, will you popout the floats before water contact? f.m. suggests to wait the water..

4- We are happy in floating in the water(after a really good ditching), we can not leave the rotor brake in "park" position due to the weight on wheels(I'm not talking about using rotor brake to stop rotors), isn't it?

Best regards & excuse the writing
