3. Limitations
3.1 Introduction
This section includes the basic operating limitations for the Skyranger
Swift. The full limitations are contained in Homebuilt Aircraft Data
Sheet (HADS) HM4, which is used by the Inspector at Annual Permit
renewal to ensure, amongst other things, that the correct limitations
are placarded in the cockpit.
3.2 Units
When noting limitations, it is important to ensure that the limitations
which you are using use the same units and calibrations as the
instruments in the cockpit. The limitations shown below use knots
CAS (Calibrated Airspeed); your aircraft may have an instrument in
mph, and in any case will read IAS (Indicated Airspeed). The difference
between IAS and CAS is basically the accuracy of your Pitot-static
system. The IAS limits for your aircraft were determined when the
aircraft was test flown, and are shown in Annex A to this manual.
There will also be a placard in the cockpit, however space is allowed
below for you to insert the IAS limitations and calibration details for
your aircraft.

Unless all errors are less than 2 knots, a copy of this calibration card must be
