above 97 knots.
Aerobatics

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. Intentional
spins with
flaps
ex-
tended are
prohibited.
