Bintang,
just a few points,
1. What is the M1 weight of the AS332 in 30kts of wind. Can a Cat A departure be made. What about a roll take off at whatever speed you like.
2. Even if a company amends its SOPs to get the best from an aircraft the Flight Manual is god.
3. The limit as stated is a hover limit and therefore is applicable at all times and not just after an engine failure.
4. It is possible that the full certification was made at the lower weight and when the increased weight came up Eurocopter never recertified as the aerodynamic model would be much the same. Maybe they were saving their money to spend it on important stuff like customer support. EUROCOPTER!!!!! CUSTOMER SUPPORT!!!!! I must be of my rocker.
