Nice to see that there are ways to take wind into account in the performance graphs of some helicopters. Wish it were so with all of them.

As for the specific problem mentioned - if there were good performance charts that gave power required to hover for different heights from IGE to OGE, and took wind into account as well, we'd all be a lot better off.
Keep asking for those charts!
