full flap, pow
power off minimum stall speed at 2500
00 lbs. (VSO) to
the Maximum flaps extended speed (VFE).

NOTE: DESIGN MANEUVERING SPEED: The maximum safe airspeed at which full aerodynamic
controls can be applied (VA) is 109K (125 mph). This airspeed is not marked on the air-
speed indicator.

D. RUDDER TRIM:

NOTE: To assure full effectiveness of the Right Rudder Trim:

Unlock "T" handle (½ ½ turn left), depress right rudder as you pull "T" handle full out. Lock
"T" handle ½ turn right before releasing right rudder pressure. If too much trim, move
handle in until trim is correct and then lock.

E. STALLS:

Stalls are preceded by mild buffet that can be felt through the rudder pedals. The red
stall warning light on the instrument panel will illuminate at 4 to 9K (5 to 10 mph) above
the stall speed. Loss of altitude prior to recovery from a stall may be as much as 300
feet.

//////////////////////// THE STALL WARNING LIGHT IS INOPERATIVE WHEN THE BATTERY


////CAUTION//// SWITCH IS OFF
////////////////////////

F. CROSSWIND LANDINGS & TAKEOFFS:

Maximum demonstrated
trated cro
crosswind component is 12K (14 mph) and flap extension
should be limited to 0
0° (fully retracted) with such crosswind or higher. 12K (14 mph) is
the maximum demonstrated for certification of the airplan
airplane
e and is not considered limiting
with flaps at 0°.

G. FUEL SYSTEM MANAGEMENT:

Fuel is fed to the engine from the main (inboard) tanks and is controlled by the selector valve
on the left kick panel. Auxiliary (outboard) tanks feed their respective main tanks
t via transfer
pumps that are controlled by switches on the instrument panel. These transfer pumps transfer
fuel at a rate of 0.4 gallons per minute or approximately 45 minutes for a full auxiliary tank.
Since overfilling a main tank from an auxiliary tank will force excess fuel overboard, it is rec-
re
ommended that the transfer pumps not be activated until their respective main tanks are
slightly more than one quarter full. If the tank being transferred to is feeding the engine, how-
ho
ever, transfer can be initiated when the main tank is down to approximately one quarter. Con- Co
firm fuel transfer by illumination of the transfer pump switch, an increase in the respective main
tank fuel gauge indicator, and a decrease on the respective auxiliary tank indicator.

4.15 RECOVERY FROM INADVERTENT SPINS:

Intentional spins are prohibited. If the aircraft inadvertently enters a spin, simultaneously ap-
a
ply full rudder opposite to the direction of rotation and full nose down elevator with ailerons
neutral and reduce power to idle. When the rotation stops, neutralize the rudder
rudde and elevator,
and ease back on the control wheel as required to smoothly regain level flight. Wing flaps
should be retracted to avoid exceeding the maximum flap speeds during recovery.

4.16 ALTERNATOR FAILURE


FAILURE:

Alternator output should be monitored by reference to the ammeter located on the right side
of the engine instrument cluster. Should the ammeter indicate a minus deflection when en-e
gine RPM is above 900 and/or red "ALTERNATOR OFF WARNING" light is illuminated, push
ALT switch OFF then n ON. Repeat two times as necessary to reset. If system will not reset,
reduce the electrical load as much as possible, land as soon as practical and investigate the
electrical system malfunction before further flight.

DETAILED CALCULATIONS OF EMPTY WEIGHT AND EMPTY WEIGHT CENTER OF
GRAVITY AS DELIVERED FROM FACTORY:

PROCEDURE:
1. Place each of the wheels on a scale with the airplane in approximate level flight attitude.
2. Place a level on the leveling mark and leveling lug on the bottom of the right wing near
the root. Adjust the extension of the nose wheel oleo until the aircraft is level, or flatten
the tire if necessary.
3. Measure the following distances:
a. Wheel base (L) - the horizontal distance from the nose wheel weight point (center of
axle) to the main wheel weight point (center of axle).

L = __________________ Inches
b. Main Wheel Station (D) - the horizontal distance from the main wheel weight point
(center of axle) to the datum line.

D = __________________ Inches
4. Measure the weights at the following points:

a. Right Main Wheel..................= ____________ Lbs.


b. Left Main Wheel....….............= ____________ Lbs.
c. Nose wheel, (N)......................=_____________Lbs.
Total Weight as Weighted (W) = __________________ Lbs.

SECTION V - WEIGHT AND BALANCE

The above empty weight includes unusable fuel of ** lbs. at 24 inches and 8 quarts of oil at
minus 34 inches, plus all items of equipment as marked on the accompanying Equipment
Lists. The certificated empty weight is the above weight less 16 lbs. drainable oil at a
minus arm of 34 inches, and for this airplane is _____________lbs. The corresponding

empty weight center of gravity is ______________inches.

5. Calculations for determining weight, C.G. and moment:

a. Center of Gravity (inches) = D - L x T


W
i.e., C.G. = _____________ - ____________ = ___________inches.

b. Moment (inch pounds) = W x C.G.

i.e., Moment = _____________ x ____________ = ___________inch lbs.

EXAMPLE OF WEIGHT AND BALANCE CALCULATION FOR LOADED AIRCRAFT:

An airplane with an empty weight of 1549 lbs. and an empty weight C.G. location of 10.5
inches is loaded with a pilot and front seat passenger, fuel and baggage.

Item Weight, lbs. C.G. Location Moment, In.lbs.

Empty Weight (including engine oil) 1549 10.5 16,264


Pilot and Front Passenger 340 * 6,800
Fuel - 43 gal. in Mains plus
30 gal. in Auxiliary Tanks 438 * 10,512
Baggage (Area "C") 50 * 3,600
2377 15.6 37,176

*Moments can be read directly from the loading chart.

By locating the point corresponding to 2377 lb. aircraft weight and a C.G. location of 15.6
inches on the Center of Gravity envelope graph, you can see that this point falls within the
envelope, signifying the loading is acceptable.

**Use 18 lbs. for “A” or “B” tank configurations and 27.6 lbs. for “C” or “D”.

FAR Part 43 to perform limited preventive maintenance on his airplane. Refer to FAR Part 43
for list of things the pilot may do. Pilots operating aircraft of o
other
ther than U.S. registry should re-
r
fer to the regulations of the country of certification for information on preventive maintenance
that may be performed by pilots. All other maintenance required on airplane is to be accom- acco
plished by appropriately licensed p personnel
ersonnel and that airplane dealer or service station should
be contacted for further information.
