aircraft
is
not designed for purely aerobatic flight.
However,
in
the acquisition
of
various
certificates
such
as
commercial pilot, in-
strument pilot
and
flight
instructor,
certain
maneuvers
are
required
by
the
FAA.
All of these maneuvers
are
permitted
in
this aj.rcraft
when
operated in the utility category. In connection with the utility category,
the following
gross
weight and flight load
factors
apply, with
maximum
entry speeds for maneuvers as shown:

*Abrupt use·
of
the controls.
is
prohibited above
112
MPH.
Aerobatics that may impose high loads should not
be
attempted.
The
important thiilg to
bear
· in mind in flight
maneuvers
is
that the afrcraft
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. Intentiopal
spins
with flaps
ex-
tended
are
prohibited. · ·
