AIRSPEED
Basic VNE is
140 KIAS, sea level to 3000 feet HD. Decrease VNE for ambient conditions in accordance with AIRSPEED LIMITATIONS Placards and Decals (Figure 1-3).
AIRSPEED
VNE at 93.5 to 100% TORQUE (takeoff power) is
100 KIAS, not to exceed placarded VNE.
AIRSPEED
When takeoff loading is in shaded area of the Gross Weight Lateral Center of Gravity Limits (Figure 1-2).
VNE is 100 KIAS or placarded VNE, whichever is less
AIRSPEED
With any door(s) removed
VNE is 100 KIAS not to exceed placarded VNE.
AIRSPEED
For steady state autorotation.
VNE is 100 KIAS or placarded VNE, whichever is less
AIRSPEED
Maximum allowable airspeed for sideward and rearward flight or crosswind hover is
35 KTAS.
ALTITUDE
Maximum operating altitude is
20,000 feet HD or 20,000 feet HP, whichever is lower.
