DPATO and DPBL on EC 225

Just like to compare notes ...our DPATO is V1 and 50 ft and DPBL is V1 at 40 ft above deck . DPATO looks fine but I have this feeling that the DPBL is a little too low and fast...Appendix 9 says that the DP is 40 ft above decl and Ground Speed of 10 kts. Wonder what the rest of the EC 225 operators have selected as their DPBL and DPATO.
How does your NHP call when approaching DPBL and DPATO? It sounds like a good mouthful when saying the whole thing at that critical moment of the flight path. Anyone calling these points "Decision Points"?
