Single AFCS on CH47D

Thanks for both replies, i am flying the CH47D model.

Not sure if i understood correctly but the comments about why there is a 100kts limit with single AFCS operating are

1) 100 Kts is the maximum speed that flight augmentation can be controlled by a single AFCS based on fuselage aerodynamics

2) 100 Kts is the maximum speed that a single DASH actuation motor can compensate for cyclic stick giving enough negative stick to make necessary speed reduction should the need arises since one of the 2 DASH actuaion motors are inoperative?
