Beg to differ the test pilot can't do anything for 2 secs. Average reaction time for a pilot . The HV curve is very restrictive and no it's not for unaccelerated flight, empire test pilots jump in here. The HV curve as has been described to me by test pilots is to ensure you can land OEI or no engine in a single without damaging anything doesn't matter if your accelling or decelling or flying at one speed. Think steady state is worst case. Yes incredibly long when your sitting there and yes NR bleeds fast, is there a test pilot out there that can clarify this?
Seriously discussion about hp per second? What are you talking about?? It's useless info....oh yeah the engine quit so if I pull out the calculator ...really??
Autos are simply lower collective don't bottom it as NR will climb incredibly fast at altitude, if you need to check aft to build NR but only if you need to.
I go back to talk to training staff.....
