S92 start/shut down wind question.

Hi,
As a regular in the back of N Sea flights, I hope you dont mind me asking a question but a situation came up yesterday I cant find an accurate answer for.
Thanks to multiple flights, triggered lightning and a VIP visit to the rig I am on yesterday a situation occured where the S92 could have shut down n deck but was unable due to the wind. I know its a startup shutdown windspeed issue to avoid blade flap and resultant really loud banging noises from the tail boom but my question is, is there a stated windspeed value for S92 in oilfield N Sea operations above which startup shutdown is forbidden?
Thanks
