GEN ERAL WARN ING
Operating the aircraft in configurations not
authorized by Schweizer RSG, LLC., or failure
to com ply with the limitations and procedures
in this Flight Manual, may result in dam age to
equipment, personal in jury or loss of life.
WARN ING
Components from helicopters involved in
crashes/accidents may be offered for sale and
use on airworthy helicopters. Please be
advised that when ever a part is subjected
to stresses, thermal effects or other damage
outside of the normal operating parameters,
some ad verse change in that part may occur.
Such change may not be visually detect-
able and may therefore require destructive
testing to determine airworthiness. Unless
stresses, thermal effects, or other damage
to which parts are subjected as the result of a
crash can be evaluated and determine to be
within design parameters, any part that may
affect safe operation of the helicopter must be
assumed to be damaged beyond acceptable
limits and must not be re-used on airworthy
helicopters. For the safety of your helicopter
and the people who fly with you, it is neces-
sary that the integrity of crash damaged parts
be assessed by you be fore you fly.
