4.19 Flight with doors open or removed
If fitted with the two-piece door option flight is permitted with the top
half of the door open. The maximum speed for flight with the doors
open is 72kn CAS [ IAS].
4.19.1 When the doors are opened in flight they must be latched on the wing
mounted hooks. Failure to do this can result in the door unexpectedly
slamming shut during flight out of balance (sideslips).
4.19.2 Pilots should be aware that as the doors are opened the aircraft will
experience a tendency to pitch up slightly and re establish trim some
5kn or so slower.
4.19.3 The Skyranger Swift can also be flown with either the one or two-
piece doors removed entirely.
4.19.4 The Skyranger Swift exhibits greater directional stability when flown
with the doors open / removed. This then requires slightly more rudder
input to maintain balance with the engine running at full power in the
climb.
4.19.5 Climb and glide performance is slightly reduced when flying with the
doors open / removed. Stall and spin characteristics remain
unchanged.
