3. OPERATING LIMITATIONS
This chapter includes operating limitations of the aircraft, also reported on flight instruments with
markings or listed in special cabin placards.
The limits below must be respected, exceeding the limits could result in structural failures or
endanger the crew. All the speeds shown are CAS.
3.1. STALL SPEEDS (V
S1
AND V
S0
)
Mass
992 lbs / 450 kg
1320 lbs / 600 kg
Flaps retracted
40.5 Mph / 65 km/h / 35 kt
47 Mph / 75 km/h / 41 kt
Flaps open to “1/2”
38 Mph / 61 km/h / 33 kt
44 Mph / 70 km/h / 38 kt
Flaps extended
36 Mph / 58 km/h / 31 kt
42 Mph / 67 km/h / 36 kt
3.1. FLAP EXTENDED SPEED (V
FE
)
Maximum speed with flaps extended.
V
FE
= 69 Mph / 111 km/h / 60 kt
3.2. MANEUVERING SPEED (V
A
)
Above this speed, full flight control deflections could cause structural damage.
V
A
= 85 Mph / 137 km/h / 74 kt
Beyond this speed, the maximum excursion of the flight controls implies maximum load factor
exceeding and therefore structural damages. The indicated manoeuver speeds is referred to the
maximum design weight, 600 kg; at minimum weight the maneuvering speed is reduced up to 120
km/h.
3.3. NEVER EXCEED SPEED (V
NE
)
Exceed this speed could cause structural damage or flutter.
V
NE
= 143 Mph / 230 km/h / 124 kt
3.4. CROSSWIND AND WIND LIMITATIONS
Maximum demonstrated cross-wind component for take-off and landing.
V
CW
= 23 Mph / 38 km/h / 20 kt
3.5. SERVICE CEILING
The service ceiling is: 14000 ft / 4200 m Pressure Altitude.
