Thank you Phil but it will still have a detrimental effect on the performance of the helicopter whatever you call it. I didn't want to complicate the issue when most folk still refer to it as CAT A. For those who don't understand or have to fly CAT A (PC1) - If you are flying a CAT A profile at weights above the max allowable for that procedure (particularly a helipad) then you are very likely exposing yourself to more risk than just doing a normal helicopter departure. If you have not been taught it properly then don't do it.
