E. RUDDER TRIM:
NOTE: To assure full effectiveness of the Right Rudder Trim:
Unlock "T" handle (½ turn left), depress right rudder as you pull "T" handle full out. Lock
"T" handle ½ turn right before releasing right rudder pressure. If too much trim, move
handle in until trim is correct and then lock.
F. STALLS:
Stalls are preceded by mild buffet that can be felt through the rudder pedals. The red
stall warning light on the instrument panel will illuminate at 4 to 9K (5 to 10 mph) above
the stall speed. Loss of altitude prior to recovery from a stall may be as much as 300
feet.
G. CROSSWIND LANDINGS & TAKEOFFS:
Maximum demonstrated crosswind component is 12K (14 mph) and flap extension
should be limited to 0
°
(first notch) with such crosswind or higher. 12K (14 mph) is the
maximum demonstrated for certification of the airplane and is not considered limiting with
flaps at 0
°
H. FUEL SYSTEM MANAGEMENT:
Fuel is fed to the engine from the main (inboard) tanks and is controlled by the selector
valve on the left kick panel. Auxiliary (outboard) tanks feed their respective main tanks
via transfer pumps that are controlled by switches on the instrument panel. These
transfer pumps transfer fuel at a rate of 0.4 gallons per minute or approximately 45
minutes for a full auxiliary tank. Since overfilling a main tank from an auxiliary tank will
force excess fuel overboard, it is recommended that the transfer pumps not be activated
until their respective main tanks are slightly more than one quarter full. If the tank being
transferred to is feeding the engine, however, transfer can be initiated when the main
tank is down to approximately one half. Do not exceed more than ¾
fuel capacity of
main tank. Confirm fuel transfer by illumination of the transfer pump switch, an increase
in the respective main tank fuel gauge indicator, and a decrease on the respective auxil-
iary tank indicator.
