Flight Controls; AFM Limitations
Avoid rapid & large alternating control inputs, especially in combination with large changes in pitch, roll, or yaw as they may result in structural failure at any speed, including below Va.

Ref Note in limitations
GPWS-Look-Ahead Terrain Alerting
Use of look-ahead terrain alerting & terrain display functions is prohibited within 15 NM of t/o, app or landing at an airport or runway not contained in the GPWS terrain database.
