We do have a high rate but the majority of our country is mountainous with a different climate compared to the US.

The Yanks are right. If the machine is flown as per the manual when in turbulent conditions the machine will perform fine.

I personally think there should be a max wind strength restriction placed on them in NZ.
Sometimes you cant help or predict the wind strength on your flight route.
But limiting the chances will reduce the events aside from poor handling.
