Hey alj87

Thanks Brother appreciate those words

TRE???? if that is torque, then we never hit a TRQ limit up here ever Ng is always the first & only limit, even in Summer we don't T4 temp out; ever!

TRE if Tail Rotor Effectiveness then yes we do suffer LTA above 20,000' in ISA +20 conditions or more; on extreme DA days You can easily hit the power peddle bump-stop limit on short final where Your out of pedal, but not out of power

Yaaar the ole Bird falling from the tree into the TR, & on take-off trick I bet the Bird didn't see that one coming

I heard.........he'd landed at the H told by office, which was the wrong H for the clients, during departure he was too heavy....during the power check the aircraft drifted & came in contact with a rock that was politely sitting there, hence the Tail-Rotor fling-wings, flung off, causing a roll-over. No serious injuries & a lucky escape for all, as the machine caught fire & burnt to the ground shortly after

Happy Happy landings Always
