imabell, I couldn't agree with you more. I am a big believer in being practical, and I am not about crashing a machine while trying to keep it in within limits if it can be saved otherwise.
I guess what I am putting forward is rather than say "you can never have too much RRPM" why not say "it is crucial that you manage your RRPM effectively at all times". One tends to make a pilot ignore it, one tends to make a pilot give it the due attention that it rightly deserves.
I too have done a lot of autos, and I have gone to the ground with the engine silent (twice), and I too would prefer more RRPM at the end than not enough if I had the choice. But it can be easily achieved without spinning it off the clocks on the high side.
If what SASless is saying is right, then why don't the manufactures say in a genuine emergency, you can never have too much RRPM?
