Robbie can handle 15 gusting 20 no problem.
You however, until you have 200 hours in helicopters, 50 in the 44, you will be limited to surface winds of 25kts and a surface to gust spread not to exceed 15kts. Plus continued flight in even moderate turbulace will be prohibited, as per the poh,...if that is, they still put that page in?
