No.

I understand that the Factory Aeronautical Engineers took a while to formulate the inspection criteria, as the loads measured via the onboard HOMP were very scary and not covered by the normal inspection manuals.

Then NDT and the eyeball took up the rest of the time

The bottom line is that a fast S76 with no AFCS and no Attitude Force Trim is a real handful, even for experienced crews.

Now throw in some IMC in the wee hours, and that crew will be working very very hard.

Not sure how all this relates to a Dual Reduction in Tq and the consequent drop in Nr.

Now back to the main topic.
