After 7000+ hrs on a 206, mostly Bendix but some Chandler-Evans CECO, I have never seen 2 clicks. Probably because I have never been a pussycat with rolling the throttle on.

After shutdown, the TOT goes down to about 300 degrees, but once the N1 reaches zero, the temperature goes up again - there is no cooling airflow, so the hot metal heats up the air in the turbine...

Isn't there also a difference in the main Xmsn, one having 3 spur gears and the later models having 4?

Where is your Horsepower gauge in the aircraft?

You only have a torquemeter. So, max cont is 85% torque, forget about the horsepower. Numbers like that occupy far too many brain...

Most of the ops were just drifting around waiting for something to happen, 60-80kt, with the occasional dash when the adrenalin pumped.

Be interesting to see how the wear on the blade grips progresses.

In a former life, we would take off every flight at 3200 lb, and the brinelling on the grips was horrendous.

Retreating blade stall at 85 knots???

Bong! Wrong!

A 206 has a Vne of 128 Kt or so, and it can't be certified to that speed if it is going to stall before that.

It is because you are pumping large amounts of power into the txmsn, and the rotor is tilted a long way forward to go fast. This makes the bending forces very high - the txmsn is trying to lean...

Horses for courses.

For charter work, carrying two couples is the norm. In a 44, one of them stays behind, or, more likely, you don't get the job.

No boot is the biggest reason not to buy a 44.

Well, for starters the main fuel pump (engine-driven) doesn't produce pressure (except into the FCU), it sucks. The pressure gauge measures only the electric boost pumps, and as GCN says, the higher...

A little correction to Rick W's post - the engine didn't actually fail, it just ran down to idle. A minor point - Allison could say it was still running, but just not putting out any power.
