I don't see low flying as being in the HV curve and see no problem with his flying ..( other than an over torque if that's what happened )
Also how many people do a power check on every take off even if it's effectively a touch and go ? I think he did a pretty good job !!
Can we assume that as an operator of the type(s) mentioned in it, you are aware of Safety Information Notice 2418-S-00 that covers both practises

I gather you fly/own the 500 and 350, so needless to say you must be familiar with these;
… and for the R22 flyers out there;
So, do you still think low flying is not in the curve?
As for the checks on take off, like clearing turns, maybe for some of us it is habitual to check all is well when lifting into the hover.
