Only day VFR operation is approved!
Aerobatic flight is prohibited!
NOTE
Manoeuvres involving bank angles of more than 60° are considered to be
aerobatic flight.
Low-G manoeuvres are prohibited!
WARNING
Any maneuver resulting in a low-G (near weightless) condition can result in a
catastrophic loss of lateral/roll control in conjunction with rapid main rotor
RPM decrease. Always maintain adequate load on the rotor and avoid
aggressive forward control input performed from level flight or following a pull-
up.
