## Discrepancy

THE PILOT REPORTED THAT UPON TAKEOFF WITH CREW & PATIENT ONBOARD HE HEARD A WARNING TONE AS HE WAS CLIMBING & TRANSITIONING TO FWD FLIGHT.  HE IMMEDIATELY REDUCED POWER & GLANCED AT THE CAUTION & WARNING PANEL & VEMD.  THERE WAS AN EXCEEDANCE DETECTED INDICATION THAT WAS OBSERVED.  THE PILOT IMMEDIATELY RETURNED TO THE HELIPAD & CALLED THE MECHANIC.  THE MECHANIC ARRIVED & FOUND THE VEMD HAD RECORDED AN OVER TORQUE OF 106% FOR 1 SECOND.  PERFORMED THE NECESSARY INSPECTIONS IAW THE AMM, CLEANED THE FADEC CONNECTIONS WITH STABILIZER 22 & RETURNED THE ACFT TO SERVICE.
