R44 Raven II TEMPORARY safety alert
Anyone else got the email from Robinson.
apparently due to vapour lock flight is now forbidden (until further notice!!!) in ambient temperatures greater than 41C or 105F.
That nails most deliveries of new ships I guess, as the only route you are 'allowed' to fly out of the factory is over the high desert (I 10), last week in the high desert ferrying a new R22 it was close to 45c at 4,000 ft (v warm with the doors on I might add).
Will watch this one carefully, we operate a Raven II in Florida and Vapour Lock is sometimes observed on start up.
