INTRODUCTION
Your Lancair Legacy is an extremely high quality aircraft and one which will give
years of service given the care a fine machine deserves. It, like most other pieces
of equipment, will operate best under certain conditions, and can be dangerous in
others. We have attempted to identify the latter in this manual, and now will offer
some suggestions for the safe operation of this very high speed aircraft.
First, it will be to your benefit to become thoroughly familiar with this Handbook,
and the Warnings and Cautions noted herein. These have been selected to highlight
those areas of special concern to you as a Lancair Legacy pilot.
If you built the aircraft you are undoubtedly familiar with the aircraft and its
systems and such of this Handbook’s information will already be familiar to you.
On the other hand, if you have purchased the machine from someone else, that
same information can prove invaluable. This particular section however can be of
benefit to all of us. As the old adage goes, we’re never too old to learn. Much of
this will undoubtedly be a refresher, and some suggestions may not be exactly to
your preference. That does not mean either is wrong, as for example, cross-wind
landings can be made from eigher a crab or slip approach.
Many FAA and other such documents cover the material covered herein. You are
probably familiar with many of these. Where Lancair and its dealers have learned
by experience, trial and error, or the “hard way”, we will try to provide you with
our “lessons learned”. As we obtain feedback from this original issue from you,
we will include that feedback, providing you with the benefit of what others have
learned.
WARNING
The Lancair Legacy aircraft are very high
performance vehicles. All safety precautions must be
observed to reduce to the maximum extent possible
injury to the pilot(s) or passengers. Improper
operations or maintenance compromises the safety
of all involved.
