Job done!
I landed 6 Times at 12.3k in isa +10 conditions with the bell 206. I restricted the weight to one pax plus his paraglider (approx 25 kg). Fuel when landing was about 18 usg.
I had a stiff headwind with light turbulence so by keeping it pointing into wind all the time, believe it or not, I landed with the TOT in the green! I only got close to the Tot limit when counteracting for ( scary) downdrafts on approach.
I was landing on the summit plateau of Mt Kinabalu in Malaysian Borneo.
