SECTION 9
Aircraft Operating Instructions Edge XT 582 / Cruze
SUPPLEMENTS
May 2007
Issue 2.0
Page 3
(stall speed) it is not necessary to “pull” the control bar back. The wing will return to the trim speed and
achieve take off safety speed if the controls are relaxed.
Initial climb out should be made on full power for maximum take off weight. Approximately 2/3 of
maximum take off power is considered comfortable for a minimum weight takeoff. Take off distance will
be extended at reduced power.
Once climb is established power should be reduced to below maximum continuous power of 5500 rpm. A
minimum of takeoff safety speed should be used. At this speed the aircraft would round out nicely into a
glide should the engine fail.
Finally, the wing trimmer located on the lower right down tube should be in the fast trim position (see AOI
Section 7.5).
9.6 Cruise and Stalls
Cruise and stalls are covered in AOI Sections 4.10.7 and 4.10.8 respectively.
Stalls are very mild in the Streak and Cruze wings, and in fact, very difficult to do unless the aircraft is
heavily loaded. Recovery is the same as in other WSC aircraft.
9.7 Landing
See AOI Section 4.9.7-8 for descent and landing procedures.
It is not necessary to approach at a higher speed than trim speed unless conditions are extremely
turbulent. Generally trim speed allows an adequate margin for landing. Set the wing trimmer in the fast
trim position.
9.8 Emergency Procedures
See AOI Section 3 for emergency procedures.
