The data you require (if available) will be contained in the approved Rotorcraft Flight Manual. The certification convention is that if forecast winds are used to predict performance then only 50% is accountable. If wind data is available from a certified anemometer at the operating site then a higher percentage may be used if permitted in your jurisdiction.
