Hi All,

I guess it really boils down to the type you are flying.

I have had an engine failure after LDP or as we called it then, "Committed" on an S-61N to an offshore platform with 22 PAX on-board @ 32C with about 5 knots of wind and it was a non-event. My experience with the AS332L2 is only in the SIM but the results @ the Delta Speed (LDP) were very similar to the S61N in real life.

Now if you use the accepted numbers for the S76C++ or S92A, I believe that you would not end your day with a smile on your face. I may be wrong as it really depends on who is flying the approach and what there own definition is.

Just my two centavos worth.
