LIMITATIONS
RSUK0287_POH_Cavalon Revision 3.0, Issue Date 06.04.16 2-3
2.2 Environmental Limitations
Maximum wind speed or gust intensity......................................................40 kts
Maximum demonstrated crosswind component for take-off and landing....20 kts
Maximum tailwind component for take-off and landing................................5 kts
Maximum demonstrated operating altitude........................................... 10,000 ft
Temperature ............................................................................... - 20 to + 40 °C
CAUTION
When operating at high altitudes the engine performance is diminished, such
that there is little available power if operating at 10,000ft with a 912ULS engine.
Care must be used operating a 914UL engine at high altitudes, as it is possible
to overspeed the engine in level flight at max power. Take care to monitor the
engine rpm gauge.
WARNING
Do not consider flying in the likelihood of severe weather. Thunderstorms may
develop rapidly with the risk of heavy precipitation or hail, severe turbulence
with strong vertical air movements, and lightning strike. If, despite proper flight
planning, a thunderstorm should be encountered, consider a precautionary
landing to avoid the squall line. A lightning strike may damage the main rotor
bearing. Thorough inspection and maintenance after lightning strike must be
performed.
