The transmission pressure always sits right at the top of the green, occasionally into the yellow at 51-52 psi. Having questioned our maintenance agency they tell me "it's normal".
Shy Torque,

We've had the same transmission 'issue'...its not actually normal but its a simple fix. Our guys adjusted something (pressure return?) on the transmission and brought the pressure down within limits. Took about 10 minutes. Happy to discuss further if you'd like.

I know it can be adjusted down. Some engineers are happy to do this but others seem to prefer seeing it in the yellow rather than do the adjustment.
I guess its different strokes for different folks, but yellow is precautionary...why would you be satisfied that its ok to fly with the pressure there if there was an easy fix. Seems like the tail (engineers) wagging the dog (drivers) IMHO.
