SECTION 2
LIMITATIONS
FLIGHT AND MANEUVER LIMITATIONS
Aerobatic flight prohibited.
CAUTION
Abrupt control inputs may produce high
fatigue stresses and cause catastrophic
failure of a critical component.
Low-G cyclic pushovers prohibited.
CAUTION
A pushover (forward cyclic maneuver)
performed from level flight or following a
pullup causes a low-G (near weightless)
condition which can result in catastrophic
loss of lateral control. To eliminate a low-G
condition, immediately apply gentle aft
cyclic. Should a right roll commence during
a low-G condition, apply gentle aft cyclic to
reload rotor before applying lateral cyclic to
stop roll.
Flight prohibited with governor selected off, with
exceptions for in-flight system malfunction or emergency
procedures training.
Flight in known icing conditions prohibited.
Maximum operating density altitude 14,000 feet.
Maximum operating altitude 9000 feet AGL to allow
landing within 5 minutes in case of fire.
Alternator, RPM governor, low rotor RPM warning system,
OAT gage, and cyclic trim or hydraulic control system
must be operational for dispatch.
Minimum crew is one pilot. Solo flight from right seat only.
Forward left seat belt must be buckled.
Operation up to 100 KIAS approved with any combination
of cabin doors removed. All seat belts must be buckled
and loose items in cabin must be properly secured during
