2 . 1 INTRODUCTION
Section 2 includes operating limitations and basic placards necessary for
safe operation of the sailplane, its standard systems and standard
equipment. The limitations in this section are FAA approved by the CAI,
Czech Republic. The values in parentheses are valid only when using wing
tip extensions.
2.2 AIRSPEED
Speed
(KIAS)
R e m a r k s
Never exceed speed up 124 Do not exceed this speed in any
to a pressure altitude of operation and do not use more than
13, 780 ft
1/3 of control deflection
Rough air speed
8 6
Do not exceed this speed except in
smooth air, and then only with
caution, Examples of rough air are
lee-wave rotor thunderclouds etc.
Manoeuvring speed 81 Do not make full or abrupt control
m o v e m e n t a b o v e t h i s s p e e d ,
because under certain conditions
the sailplane may be overstressed
by full control movement
Maximum w i n c h - 6 5 Do not exceed this speed during
launching speed winch- or autotow-launching
Maximum aerotowing 81 Do not exceed this speed during
speed aerotowing
Maximum landing gear 124 Do not extend or retract the landing
operating speed gear above this speed
Note:
airspeed limits above 13,780 ft Pressure Altitude are redu-
ced as follows:
