2.9 Meteorological restrictions
Operating the airplane is restricted by meteorological conditions and a pilot of an airplane
must observe the meteorological minimums and the rules of flights. Technical and flying
attributes need to be considered as well. There are following restrictions in effect:
Maximum outside temperature
Minimum outside temperature
Maximum wind components for take off and landing
Maximum headwind component
Maximum crosswind component
Maximum tailwind component
+50 degrees Celsius
-25 degrees Celsius
6m/s
3m/s
1m/s
Operating an airplane at low temperatures is restricted mostly by the possibility of ice
formation. Do not attempt to fly during conditions that increase the probability of ice
formation.
2.10 Carriage of goods restrictions
Transport of load is restricted by the valid regulations and by the technical abilities of an
airplane. Valid regulations prohibit the transport of some kinds of load, for example weapons,
explosives, volatile and caustic agents, etc.
Regarding technical ability of an airplane, a pilot can transport the goods in the cockpit only
by maintaining the following:
- maximum weight of the airplane can not be exceeded
- the load can be transported only if it does not interfere with the controls, if it does not
obstruct the movement and the view of the pilot in any way and lastly the load must be fasten
to the seat
- small sized objects can be stored in the side pockets of padding
- objects in the baggage compartment can be transported only while keeping the center of
gravity in its limits. At the same time, the load must be secured so it will not obstruct the
pilot’s view and controllability of an airplane during all flying conditions (for example flying into
turbulent air).
2.11 Type of traffic
Flying rules and the equipment of the airplane determine the operation of the airplane only
for flights under the VFR conditions in the daylight.
FM-250
Vampire
must be flown in VMC conditions with sight of the surface. Other flights are
strictly prohibited. Do not fly into icing conditions. Aerial work is prohibited.
