hi VF

Great pictures impressive work there!
Few questions? How is the TRE of your machines up that high?
Whats your first limit during the summer?
We operate big machine in similar conditions and the first limit is the TR

Hey alj87

Thanks Brother appreciate those words

TRE???? if that is torque, then we never hit a TRQ limit up here ever Ng is always the first & only limit, even in Summer we don't T4 temp out; ever!

TRE if Tail Rotor Effectiveness then yes we do suffer LTA above 20,000' in ISA +20 conditions or more; on extreme DA days You can easily hit the power peddle bump-stop limit on short final where Your out of pedal, but not out of power
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hoy fadecdegraded

Yaaar the ole Bird falling from the tree into the TR, & on take-off trick I bet the Bird didn't see that one coming

I heard.........he'd landed at the H told by office, which was the wrong H for the clients, during departure he was too heavy....during the power check the aircraft drifted & came in contact with a rock that was politely sitting there, hence the Tail-Rotor fling-wings, flung off, causing a roll-over. No serious injuries & a lucky escape for all, as the machine caught fire & burnt to the ground shortly after

Happy Happy landings Always
