For Nick Lappos, Rich Lee and/or Shaun Coyle re B412 speed limitations
Guys,

On the Bell 412 the min IFR speed is 60 KIAS. I was wondering where this speed comes from. Is it to do with longitudinal static stability?

Also on the Bell 412 with one auto pilot disengaged max speed is 115 KIAS however, with both failed there is no specific limitation other than VNE. Why? Is it AFCS performance?

Thanks,

WBS
