In some offshore takeoff situations, especially if the aircraft is equipped with the 6,800 kg kit, it is necessary to use a target of 110%. When setting the take-off using the CAT A button, the marking is already on 110%.

My questioning is precisely because if you really need to use the 110%, often the sensitivity of the collective does not allow you to stay exactly at 110%, the PI ends up reaching fractions of seconds 111% or up to 112% during The "fine tuning" of the takeoff. Of course this is not done intentionally.

I believe that if there is a torque limiter at 114% rather than at 110%, then there must be a relatively safe transient range between 110% and 114%(Even because the Manual says transient up to 121%), which obviously should not be used intentionally.

Thank you colleagues for the very enriching debate.
