2.2 Airspeed limits

Speed limitations and their operational significance are illustrated in
Table 2.2.0-1.

Speed

IAS

Remarks

18 m

21 m

Never exceed
speed

270 km/h

146 kts

Do not exceed this speed in
any operation and do not use
more than 1/3 of control
deflection

Rough air speed

203 km/h

110 kts

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

203 km/h

110 kts

Do  not  make  full  or  abrupt
control  movement  above  this
speed, because under certain
conditions  the  sailplane  may
be overstressed by full control
movement.

Maximum flap
extended speed

See

Table 2.2.0-2

Do not exceed these speeds
with the given flap setting.

Maximum winch
launching speed

150 km/h

81 kts

140 km/h

76 kts

Do not exceed this speed
during winch or auto tow
launching

Maximum aerotow
speed

180 km/h

97 kts

Do not exceed this speed
during aerotow.

Maximum landing
gear operating
speed

180 km/h

97 kts

Do not extend or retract the
landing gear above this speed.

Table 2.2.0-1

The following table shows the maximum allowable airspeed for each
flap setting:
