AS350 blades, winds, and tiedown/braces

Would appreciate a Eurocopter citation for securing the rotor.

I'm having a technical disagreement- one party is concerned about the starflex, the other with the blades and the effect of unrestrained flapping. Specific issue- The blades must be immobilized, braced and tied above "x" windspeed (40 knots?)? Up to that point, autorotation is the only issue?

I believe this is addressed in the maintenance manual.
