Helicopter G limits/manoeuvering speed(R22) + Takeoff w/ Gs
Hello,

I found this video on youtube a while ago. The pilot accelerates to around 65 knots and pulls pretty hard for the takeoff.(takeoff at 0:33)



Is that bad for the helicopter/dangerous in terms of G forces? He is clearly outside of the HV diagram, but I would like to know about the Gs.

Also, in the R22 POH, it doesn't talk about G limits at all. There is no maneuvering speed. Does that mean that no matter what speed you are at (below never exceed), you won't exceed any G limits? (basically, NE is below the maneuvering speed)

I am guessing that some other helicopters have maneuvering speeds?

Thank you!!!
