NORMAL FLIGHT OPERATIONS: (Cont’d)
D. 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.
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
feet.
F. CROSSWIND LANDINGS & TAKEOFFS:
Maximum demonstrated crosswind component is 10K (12 mph) and flap extension
should be limited to 0
°
(one notch) with such crosswind or higher. 10K (12 mph) is the
maximum demonstrated 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. These
transfer pumps transfer fuel at a rate of 0.4 gallons per minute or approximately 45 mi-
nutes 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 acti-
vated 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. Confirm fuel transfer by illumination
of the transfer pump switch, an increase in the respective main tank fuel gauge indica-
tor, and a decrease on the respective auxiliary tank indicator.
