AgustaWestland, EASA Explore Safe Reject Approach
They advocate the idea of “fly away” to make most of the helicopter’s performance rather than a diagram that shows operators what not to do.

AgustaWestland and EASA are discussing a new approach to the height-velocity (H-V) diagram for multi-engine helicopters, proposing to replace it with “safe reject” indications. They advocate adopting the idea of “fly away” in case of engine failure to make the most of the helicopter’s performance rather than relying on a diagram that shows operators what not to do. With the fly-away maneuver, the pilot determines a flightpath that keeps the aircraft clear of obstacles.
