That's quite a leap to make from my (admittedly weak) attempt at humour! Cheers, Dick Hey mister.......my cane has a sabre inside!!!! Quote
old dog Posted February 10, 2010 Report Posted February 10, 2010 Certainly "dad". The specs as published by Bell are can be achieved work under "ideal" conditions. Put the machine under 50-55 kts, and things change. Drop below translational lift or try an OGE hover and the aircraft performance "dramatically" changes. As almost 100% or most of my/our flying is mountain, higher D.A. and,confined area operations on a line....... going OEI when in tight quarters close to the ground with bad winds make the published charts redundant, to say the least, especially working single pilot, in a multi engine aircraft from the left seat. Cheers, H56 Loggers, eh, - ya gotta love'm! Quote
