S76A stories wanted

Hello all, I've looked on the forums as best I could and didnt find any related threads, so forgive me if I'm asking an old question.

I recently took a job on the S76A, and as large as the knowledge base is in our company theres always room for more. I'm interested in hearing any stories anyone on here might have about the A model. Known weak points, oddities, tips etc.

Much thanks in advance.

If it's a straight A, the weak point is the engines. You can overtemp them, and you have to watch the temps closely.

If you flying with c-30's with enhanced compressors, avoid rapid throttle movement as the engines will compressor stall very easy. get used to engines that just pass min acceptable power checks. and if your heavy and taking off over water and a engine fails, get ready to swim.
