CAUTION
Care must be used operating at high altitudes, as it is possible to overspeed
the engine in level flight at max power. Take care to monitor the engine rpm
gauge.
Aircraft and engine performance degrades with decreasing pressure altitude
and increasing temperatures. Care must be taken to maintain safe flight when
nearing operational temperature extremes.
WARNING
Do not consider flying in the likelihood of severe weather. Thunderstorms may
develop rapidly with the risk of heavy precipitation or hail, severe turbulence
with strong vertical air movements, and lightning strike. If, despite proper flight
planning, a thunderstorm should be encountered, consider a precautionary
landing to avoid the squall line. A lightning strike may damage the main rotor
bearing. Thorough inspection and maintenance after lightning strike must be
performed.
