Im going to go out on a limb here & guess 30 knots at 50' agl is no
beuno according to the HVC in the POH for the R-22.

The HVC is really intended for takeoffs. If you're straight and level
or descending inside the curve on the POH, and engine failure isn't as
critical as if you were climbing or hovering in those areas. Still,
not too smart to be that slow and that low unless you're making an
approach to land.

I seem to remember it saying something to the effect "operation not
recommended within the shaded area. No mention of take off & landing.
I have seen a number of cases where pilots were violated for operating
in this manner. In the violation the FAA cited the HVC in the POH.

The bottom line is that this kind of flying gives the rest of us
undeserved attention.
