Mmm ...

Geoffers ....

Thank you for the above .... I have no problem with the "Floats Operation" and if fact operate IAW the RFM.

I do however still have an issue with your version of operations with the TL.

If as you say there is no mention in the RFM other than as you have mentioned and as a rated pilot trained on type with the knowledge that if you pull more than 114/114% expect the RRPM to bleed off then what is the problem ... it is a protection.

There being no warnings or cautions NOT to operate in that manner I believe allows me to do so as long as I understand how or why I want to do so.

Takes me back to my Puma days .... I believe I would rather fly the Rrpm droop rather than risk burning an engine .... having said that ... my choices would depend on the flight task at hand.

If Agusta consider flying with TL active a flight hazard then they should amend the RFM to indicate same.

Cheers
