I flew the 139 at 162 (coupled, Vne-5) all day long. And yes, it was a far smoother ride than an S-76B.

Not in the simulator, either. Why don't you find someone who knows how to track and balance a helicopter.

We flew 150TAS everywhere we went, by contract. They could go faster but you Could feel it when you got them going mich faster.

150 to 155 depends on weight, and no vibration issues with the AVCS installed

Just have your mechanics properly track and balance the helicopter.
