Thanks Industry Insider. Had this info at hand already. What I wanted was a forum insider to detail what you have said publicly i.e. that a certain weights and certain conditions (temp and wind factoring), PC1 could be offered or not offered depending upon if these conditions were met. Thus at close to max AUW with increased temp and little to no wind (RFM dependant) PC1 is not an option (most machines I have operated fall into this category. The weights we're operating at with high ambient temps at SL).
This is what I'm after as operating close to max AUW with high ambient temps at SL with little to no wind WITHOUT floats fitted may cause embarrassment if OEI on approach or just after rotation from a moving deck regardless of the legalities of type of operation i.e. passenger carrying charter or private operation.
Thanks for the input.
