VEMD

Wow 1100 for 11 sec, Thats a crazy over temp. Sounds odd how can the pilot not know and for so long, was it in flight or on a start, was it cooked in the end? I have noticed that the EC120 has a few little Bugs. If your not careful on a start it can bite you. 1 out of 50 starts for me and for no reason the T4 sky rockets, Battery good and residual temp under 175 degrees always. Im now modulating the start to be safe.

False NR reading i have had this happen twice, man its scary when you land and shutdown you see that Overlimit Detected, your heart just sinks. We had the resister mod done to the NR indicator and sure enough after that another NR over limit, no warning no indication, seems to be more going on here.

Whats going on with these VEMD's any other aircraft have problems AS350 or Ec130? Damn computers just cant trust them, bring back the trusty gauges.
