There are no specific bank angle, pitch attitude or g limits in the EC225 Flight Manual, however there is a para in Section 2 (limitations section) that says:
4. Restrictions:
The following are prohibited:
- Acrobatic flying
So, you are not allowed to do handstands, juggle 3 balls in the air or swing on a trapeze whilst flying, but there is no mention of not doing loops.
Just as well it didn't say:
- Aerobatic flying
otherwise he would have been very naughty...
Sikorsky - since the S92 is technologically very similar to a 1968 CH53 A then no, as you say no point in doing it again.
