4.35 STALLS
The stall characteristics are conventional. An approaching stall is indicated by a stall warning horn
which is activated between five and ten KTS above stall speed. Mild airframe buffeting and gentle pitching
may also precede the stall.
The gross weight stalling speed with power off and full flaps is 44 KIAS. With the flaps up this speed is
increased. Loss of altitude during stalls varies from 100 to 275 feet, depending on configuration and power.
NOTE
The stall warning system is inoperative with the master switch
“OFF.”
During preflight, the stall warning system should be checked by turning the master switch “ON,”
lifting the detector and checking to determine if the horn is actuated. The master switch should be returned
to the “OFF” position after the check is complete.
4.37 TURBULENT AIR OPERATION
In keeping with good operating practice used in all aircraft, it is recommended that when turbulent air
is encountered or expected, the airspeed be reduced to maneuvering speed to reduce the structural loads
caused by gusts and to allow for inadvertent speed build-ups which may occur as a result of the turbulence
or of distractions caused by the conditions. (See Subsection 2.3)
4.39 WEIGHT AND BALANCE
It is the responsibility of the owner and pilot to determine that the airplane remains within the
allowable weight vs. center of gravity envelope while in flight.
For weight and balance data, refer to Section 6 (Weight and Balance).
