Ok terminology guys, by flight idle I meant throttle all the way back, closed, at the minimum, ground idle, etc. Not every helo has the same terminology as another. The last helo I flew for the Marines had a twist grip and the following terms were used. Full open meant you rotate the twist grip all the way until you have 100% Nr and the governor would take over. Flight idle meant you twist the other way until it won't let you twist anymore and you are the minimum Nr you can while the engine is running. Closed meant you push the idle release button and twist a little further than flight idle and the engine would shut off.
I never would leave the helo with Nr at 100%, no kidding that's dumb vertical freedom and I never said I did that. I still use a lot of the terminology I used in the Marines, but you might want to ask me what I meant before assuming I do something dumber than dog shiiit.
