I should of clarified, 100% was a term loosely used to mean rotor rpm etc, not N1, if I had an N1 reading at 100% on the ground with no pitch pulled maybe wouldn't bother to do hyd test cos i think I would be shutting her down.
My engineer and I are currently sat in a exploration camp kinda bored so we just pulled RFM out of aircraft, LTS 101 super B2 and no where does it say to be done at 70% (flight idle), from what we interpret if you follow start up in normal proceedures, #4 para 3 it leads one to beleive full throttle (100%0 for test. Like I said in my previous post, I do it at 70% N1 and in the flight gate, so I guess my bases are covered, you from BC so ya know how pads are here, would hate to slide or spin off one
