D.A. Size Limitations

Is there a minimum drainage area size when using HEC-HMS below which peak flow determinations are unreliable? I am looking at a d.a. that is 0.6 sqare miles with precip up to the PMF.
Thanks

I think the reliability depends on the method you're using to compute the rainfall excess and runoff routing. Please refer to the HEC-HMS Technical Reference Manual and related literature to see more about the background of each one of the methods you're intending to use.
