WARNING
Pay special attention to the maneuvering speed. As it is a function of
stall speed in clean configuration, it is relatively low compared to the
cruising and top speeds of this
airplane. Above this speed, maximum elevator deflection can induce
loads way beyond the design limit!
The pilot must respect this!
At VNE, max elevator would result in loads > 10g’s!!
