S76 Heavy
I guess I was not clear in my previous post either. I didn't say 30 degrees nose up, I said a quick stop resulting in about 30 feet altitude and 30 KIAS. A quick stop is defined as any deceleration requiring a nose up attitude in excess of the normal procedures. In the case of the S76 this would be greater than 10 degrees. As Nick pointed out, this will also depend on OAT and A/C weight.
As for the Cat A power required, the S76 RFM Supp 29 B states for Cat A, Hover Q + 6% and Cat B, Hover Q + 10%. As most S76's will require somewhere in the neighborhood of 70-80% Q to Hover IGE, there is no need to adjust power after V2 as you will already be stabilized above 70% which is the accepted minimum climb power for most operators of the S76 or 212.
Just one comment about the A model CAT A profile. Although it may seem a bit agressive to some, it is the the most reasonable trade off of distance available for land back and continued take off. This profile alows a safe land back prior to CDP and in the case of after CDP, (35 KIAS + 55 feet rad alt) a safe continued take off if the Nr is drooped to 96% and VToss (52 KIAS) is maintained. My hat is off to Nick for designing that profile.
I think the bottom line here is to give yourself a loaded deck ie extra power available in the bank incase the preverbial **** hits the rotor.
