Environmental Limitations
Maximum wind speed or gust intensity.................................................. 40 KIAS
Maximum demonstrated crosswind component for take-off and landing 20 KIAS
Maximum tailwind component for take-off and landing ............................ 5 KIAS
Maximum demonstrated operating altitude........................................... 10,000 ft
Temperature ............................................................................... - 20 to + 40 °C
CAUTION
Care must be used operating a 914F 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.
