to Eurocopter! This is such a amazing piece of kit and well done to them for enhancing all of our knowledge with this training program. Yes, the VEMD only uses static and not dynamic which is why it only records above 101% tQ limits as the rest is considered below 40kts. A engineer has to make a entry in the flight folio if a further overtorque occured below 40kt as claimed by a pilot if the scenario arises. However, for delta NG the VEMD takes into consider electrical loading vs NG usage VS atmosphere. These are the interesting things explained in the Description and Operational Manual none of us know about. Met a pilot earlier in the week who were not taught to press select and + until you reach NF and that the indication will be in rotor rpm so the gauage is almost a standby. Brilliant stuff the VEMDcan do!
