I believe the only place you want to get the POH is right from
Robinson, specially for your check ride. I know websites that have
tried posting this type of information have been politely told to
remove them by Robinson.

Don't forget to show up with a precalulated W&B for both full and empty too.
It helps to know how roughly how much the examiner weighs.

You should not use a store bought POH for the ride. Use the POH from the
helicopter your'e gonna be in. The helicopter you take the ride in may have
equipment that modifies the limitations or performance from a standard
machine. (Mine has several things that dramatically alter these.)

Use the checklist in the FAA examination guide too!
