limitations and essential operating data for this aircraft. 

 

The Flight Manual shall be carried in the aircraft on all flights. 

 

Special operations requiring additional limitations and instructions are listed in the 
"Supplements Section" and this section shall be consulted before undertaking any 
such operations. For operating information not included in this manual, reference 
should be made to the appropriate operations or manufacturer's manuals. 

 

The pilot in command the aircraft shall comply with all requirements, procedures 
and limitations with respect to the operation of the aircraft set out in the Flight 
Manual for the aircraft. 

 

Amendments shall be issued by Alpi Aviation as necessary and will take the form of
