Background: A report was received of an incident during a ground run-up with a Model EC 120 helicopter, where it was possible to push the collective lever downward beyond it's normal position. Investigation revealed that the locknut of the low pitch stop had come loose and that the stop was out of adjustment. The worst case scenario is that of collective low pitch stop maladjustment, which can result in rotor under-speed in an auto-rotation situation.
