S76Heavy,
I think the point wasn't clear enough earlier in this thread. The S76 Cat A procedure in the flight manual is based on takeoff at sea level 90 degrees F, where the takeoff power is only about 5 to 10% more than the power to hover at 5 feet. When you fly the procedure as written at that condition, you must pull takeoff power.
The difficulty that sparked this thread is that when you pull takeoff power at standard temperature (59 degrees F) you have about 25% power above hover power. This makes the acceleration to 35 knots very fast if you pull all that power, and the procedure is abrupt and uncomfortable.
If the power used in such conditions is about 10% above hover power, the procedure is easier to fly, yet still meets the flight manual distances.
