SECTION VII. ENVIRONMENTAL RESTRICTIONS

5-29. FLIGHT UNDER INSTRUMENT METEORO-
LOGICAL CONDITIONS (IMC).

This aircraft is restricted to visual

ight conditions. Flight

into instrument meteorological conditions will be con-

ducted on an emergency basis only.

5-30. FLIGHT RESTRICTIONS IN FALLING OR
BLOWING SNOW.

Flight in falling or blowing snow is prohibited except for

those helicopters with reverse

ow inlet fairing installed.

Helicopters having the above features may be

own in

falling or blowing snow provided reverse

ow inlet fair-

ings are installed and the following criteria is met.

Visibility reduced by snow must be at least 1/2

mile.

Prior to initial takeoff and each subsequent take-

off, inspect the engine as speci

ed in Chapter 8, Section

V, paragraph 8-34.

(1) Deleted.

(2) Deleted.

(3) Deleted.

5-31. FLIGHT OVER SALT WATER.

Prolonged hovering over salt water which re-

sults in spray ingestion, indicated by spray on

the windshield, should be avoided.

Salt spray ingestion in turbine engines may result in a

deterioration in performance as well as a loss in com-

pressor stall margin. When operating within 10 miles of

salt water or within 200 miles of volcanic activity appro-

priate entries should be made on DA Form 2408-13-1 to

alert maintenance.

5-32. FLIGHT IN SAND AND DUST CONDITIONS.

During operations in heavy sand or dusty conditions

without the new improved nozzles will result in lower

inlet particle separator (IPS) ef

ciency which in turn

severely shortens the engine life.

5-32-1. FLIGHT IN RAIN, SNOW AND ICING
CONDITIONS.

own in rain, snow or icing conditions, appropriate en-

tries should be made on DA Form 2408-13-1 to alert

maintenance.

5-33. TURBULENCE LIMITATIONS.

Intentional

ight into severe or extreme turbu-

lence is prohibited.

Intentional

ight into moderate turbulence is not

recommended when report or forecast is based on air-

craft above 12,500 pounds gross weight.

Intentional

ight into thunderstorms is prohibited.
