Take-off and landing performance figures were measured from a short dry
grass surface at maximum weight 450kgs (990lbs) at sea level @ 15° Celsius
(59°F) (ISA). Many factors including temperature, air density, altitude and take
off surface can severely affect take-off and landing performance. Make the
appropriate calculations before take-off.
WARNING
!
It is important to understand that the data recorded during stall tests
were ascertained using the CAA requirement of a reduction of airspeed
of not more than 1 mph per second. If accelerated and therefore
unauthorised stalls are undertaken, the aircraft may then lose significant
height before recovery is made, or in extreme cases, may become
unstable to the extent of being unrecoverable.
WARNING
!
