# Helionix flitape calculations

####Calculation into "FLI"###

## First Limit Indicator - FLI
## Originally adopted from ec130 VEMD.nas .

## However the ec135/ec130, VEMD FLI indication differs 
## from the H145 Helionix FND FLI tape:
## according to Neuhaus/Ockier - "Helionix Cockpit Concept" the 
## "FLI scale uses the collective lever position" 
## to display the "moving collective pitch scale".
## The moving markers on top of the FLI tape indicate at which 
## collective pitch the reaching of MCP, take-off- and transient-TO
## torque limits are expected.
