it should no longer be a limitation.
but it is in plenty of RFMs it would seem - if you crash operating outside the RFM (even briefly) how are you placed legally? Rather poorly I would have thought.

In the Norfolk crash, the impact may have happened above Vmini but the actions that caused that crash were initiated below it and that is the whole issue.

We all know you can fly/hover a helicopter on instruments below Vmini - providing you have been trained (and tested) to ensure you can do it safely.
