NORMAL PROCEDURES
3.3 NORMAL FLIGHT OPERATIONS:
(Cont'd)
C. CLIMBING:
Best Rate of Climb – 78K (90 mph) IAS, flaps @ First Notch (0
°
)
Best Angle of Climb – 65K (75 mph) IAS with flaps set @ Second Notch (24
°
)
////////////////////////
////CAUTION////
////////////////////////
FOR TAKEOFF OR LANDING UNDER GUSTY CROSSWIND CONDITIONS,
FLAP SETTING OF 0
°
(one notch) IS RECOMMENDED.
-7
°
OPTIONAL.
////////////////////////
////CAUTION////
////////////////////////
USE CLIMB AIRSPEED BELOW 78K (90 MPH)
ONLY AS NECESSARY
AND CHECK CYLINDER HEAD TEMPERATURE FREQUENTLY WHEN
DOING SO.
D. RUDDER TRIM:
NOTE: To assure full effectiveness of the Right Rudder Trim:
Unlock "T" handle (1/2 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.
E. 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'.
////////////////////////
////CAUTION////
////////////////////////
THE STALL WARNING LIGHT IS INOPERATIVE WHEN THE BATTERY
SWITCH IS OFF.
F. 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 dem-
onstrated for certification of the airplane and is not considered limiting with flaps at 0
°
.
G. 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.
