MANEUVERING LIMITS
This airplane is certificated in the utility category and is designed for limited aerobatic flight. In the
acquisition of various certificates such as commercial pilot, instrument pilot and flight instructor, certain
maneuvers are required. All of these maneuvers are permitted in this airplane.
No aerobatic maneuvers are approved except those listed below:
MANEUVER MAXIMUM ENTRY SPEED*
Chandelles ................................................................................................................. 95 knots
Lazy Eights ................................................................................................................. 95 knots
Steep Turns ............................................................................................................... 95 knots
Spins ................................................................................................... Use Slow Deceleration
Stalls (Except Whip Stalls) .................................................................. Use Slow Deceleration
* Higher speeds can be used if abrupt use of the controls is avoided.
Aerobatics that may impose high loads should not be attempted. The important thing to bear in mind in
flight maneuvers is that the airplane is clean in aerodynamic design and will build up speed quickly with
the nose down. Proper speed control is an essential requirement for execution of any maneuver, and
care should always be exercised to avoid excessive speed which in turn can impose excessive loads. In
the execution of all maneuvers, avoid abrupt use of controls.
