Flying around the UK as I do there are not many places that you encounter ground above 3,000ft and our weather is usually pretty cool so generally power issues are not too much of a problem even in an R44 Raven 1.
The recent posts that discussed the R44 that crashed due to an attempt to hover OGE outside of the aircraft limits and the other video clip that was posted about the R44 that crash landed on the mountainside in the US for the same reason got me thinking...
What density altitudes do our fellow Rotorheads, particularly those flying for fun, find themselves operating in around the world where the weather is warm and the ground higher?
Does the ability to hover OGE at 10,000ft on a 30C day make any difference to typical private pilots around the world or not? Should Robinson upgrade the R44 to be able to do this?
