Airspeed limitations:
Observe airspeed limitations in Section II with hoist installed and doors closed.
Observe V
NE
for doors open/removed flight in Section II.
Hoist limitations:
Maximum load on hoist is 600 lb (272 kg).
Maximum permissible cable deflection is 15
°
with respect to the aircraft vertical
axis.
NOTE
:
Flight with a load on the hook can increase hook loads and exceed hoist load
limits. Flight conditions that could cause an overload are shock loads induced
from slack on the cable or sharp turns with an extended cable.
During normal flight operations, the cable/hook must be in the fully raised posi
tion.
Center of gravity limitations:
Size, weight, shape of load, and cable length may affect flight
characteristics.
