Gurney flap on horizontal stabilizer on Bell 206 B3

Hi everyone.
I was wondering if anyone has a good explanation why there is a gurney flap installed on the leading edge of the upper side of horizontal stabilizer on Bell 206 B3. I think it has something with the stability in low airspeed, and that it spoils the airflow over the stabilizer during flare to prevent staying with high nose up position, but I'm not completely sure. Thanks in advance
