hey, thanks for that - this is what the manual says:-
‘The following limitations (1-3) are to be
observed unless the pilot manipulating the
controls has logged 200 or more flight hours in
helicopters, at least 50 of which must be in the
RHC Model R44 helicopter, and has completed
the awareness training specified in Special
Federal Aviation Regulation (SFAR) No. 73,
issued February 27, 1995.
1) Flight when surface winds exceed 25 knots,
including gusts, is prohibited.
2) Flight when surface wind gust spreads exceed
15 knots is prohibited.
3) Continued flight in moderate, severe, or
extreme turbulence is prohibited.’
I cant agree more on the flying for pleasure statement, If I'm not sure - i dont go. but having a machine sitting on back lawn i was looking for advice from you guys as the wind in the UK is a little up and down at the mo. I have booked some advanced instruction with my instructor over this weekend a its predicted to be 25mph gusting 35mph.
any comments would be appreciated.
