I'm the only one flying this machine at this time and it flies once every week or two for about an hour. The blades are rotated 2.5 turns counter-clockwise every start and shutdown with a 2 minute cool down every shutdown as well. Annual inspection was done about 20 hours ago with a compressor wash and the usual engine and airframe maintenance all done by a reputable maintenance shop with 30+ years experience with 206's.. The engine has a monitoring system that prevents hot starts and records all exceedances and maximum engine and air frame parameters all of which appear normal.
I just checked the FCU lever position to see if it contacts the stop at full open and it does not. There is about a 0.100" gap.
