H-V diagram

The H-V diagram is part of the limitations section and refers to the safe recovery from a single engine failure whilst operating over a smooth, flat surface.

As far as I am aware a twin engine helicopter does not need to demonstrate the ability to comply with a simultaneous double engine failure H-V curve. I don't think Cat A or Cat B even comes into it.
