At first glance this appears to be something similar to
"Maximum demonstrated crosswind component" or 'Maximum demonstrated sideward flight (i.e. sidewind)' - it says that's the maximum it's been demonstrated to, but not a limit.
Given that a variant of the AS350 has landed on Mt. Everest, it's clear that the aerodynamics are capable of more than 23,000' PA.
