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?
That is incorrect with respect to the 44. The 44 POH contains no such limitation. It is, however, in the 22 POH as a limitation, the very last page of Section 2.
That said, when winds get above 25, and the gust spread gets above 15, it does get a little sporty in the 44, and one should try to use common sense and an appropriate set of personal limits. My own personal limits in both the 22 and 44 don't exceed those numbers by very much
