According to Mi17 (or Mi 8 MTV or AMT or MT...) their bird is a bit tricky when heavy at altitude landings ( they were talking of "above 4000 meters") because of RPM loss They had to be very gentle with the collective and actually they had to lower it a little with a small flare on final in order to keep their RPM's.
