@Savoia - P2 and P2+ although they have FLI markings, these have different torque values for the same FLI reading. FLI 10 is max. which in respect to the torque values are equal to 75% for P2 and 78% for P2+ (torque per engine).

@Brilliant Stuff: Cruising speed on EC135 is reduced by 5kts for SX-16, 4kts for FLIR and 6kts for loudspeakers... your police config reaches 130kts IAS or TAS at what PA? In clean config your EC would reach almost 145 kts... or is that the FIAT 109 we are talking about?
For a P2+, FLI 9(69% Tq) is max continuous twin engine power. FLI 10(78% Tq), is the 5 minute, less than 65kts limit.

At max continuous, we cruise at 130/132kts IAS with FLIR and Nitesun 2.
