Sorry I couldn't count. Having recounted, the table shows there were 5 audio and visual warnings relating to ROTOR RPM. But the point I was making is what data do they have to say those were in relation to high or low Nr?

Could one of the last BAT DISCH gongs at the end have been mis-interpreted as a high Nr gong, and therefore raising the lever to contain, when the Nr was already low? By this time there were a minimum of 4 red warning lights lit.

And regarding autos, as I said, AIM for 100-103%, which therefore keeps you nicely within the power off limitations.

And I have more than enough respect for those involved, but feel there are always learning opportunities, especially when audio warnings sound the same for different warnings. I am not picking holes in anyone else who had posted but hope the points I have raised invoke thought to the aircraft system beyond the fuel tank.
