NORMAL HANDLING
The airplane may require a small but increasing amount of lateral trim, particularly when changing
airspeeds above 0.6 mach number. Care should be taken to monitor the trim indicator throughout the
flight.
NOTE:
Center the trim indicator before disconnecting the autopilot.
RUDDER CONTROL FORCE
A load is imposed on the rudder control by a spring strut. On the ground for small deflections, this load
is masked by circuit friction and the force required to initiate rudder movement is light, but as the control
surface is moved towards full deflection, the required force becomes progressively greater until, to
obtain full movement, a foot force of approximately 65 lb has to be applied.
Two pneumatic rudder bias struts are provided in order to reduce the control forces necessary in
maintaining unyawed flight after the failure of one engine.
NOTE:
Identification of the inoperative engine may not be evident from flight characteristics alone.
Before takeoff, check the RUDDER BIAS switches are selected ON and check the RUDDER BIAS
annunciator is off.
NOTE:
Rudder bias is inhibited when thrust reverse is selected.
AIRBRAKES
The airbrakes may be extended at any airspeed in flight. They must not be used when the flaps are
extended except when the airplane is on the ground.
POSITION ERROR CORRECTIONS
Refer to the Airplane Flight Manual, Sub-section 5.05.
STALLS
Conditions For Stalls
When intentional stalls are carried out, the following conditions apply:
1. The altitude must be above 10,000 ft AGL, 10,000 ft above clouds and below 18,000 ft MSL.
2. Stalls must be conducted during day VMC with good visual horizon.
3. The autopilot must be disengaged.
4. The Stall Identification System must be operative.
5. All the external surfaces must be free from ice.
6. The ventral fuel tank must be empty.
7. The weather radar must be in standby.
Stalls may be demonstrated with the yaw damper switched on or off.
To limit altitude loss, to maintain acceptable stalling characteristics and to prevent structural abuse, it is
strongly recommended that the following Technique For Stalls procedure be followed:
