Flight Manual Ambiguity?

Hi LongTime Lurker

The FM extract if acurate may have a hidden danger ...

It looks like the word 'power' is maybe used meaning two different things - not sure.

There are three terms used collective lever, throttle, power.

Normally when we say power we mean with the collective lever - but it can be power with throttle in the context of T/R failures.

The danger, for response to T/R failure, is if power is reduced with throttle (reflex of 60% of pilots) whilst too high, the RRPM will probably be insufficient to enable a gentle landing..... you get something like 'the Brazillian' video.....
