NORMAL FLIGHT CHARACTERISTICS
NON-MANEUVERING FLIGHT CHARACTERISTICS
The aircraft exhibits positive stability in all configurations throughout the flight
envelope.
The reversible flight control system becomes more sensitive as airspeed increases.
Control forces during climb, cruise, and terminal area flying are light throughout
the speed range of the aircraft.
Slight control stick inputs can result in airspeed or altitude deviations, from hands-
off trim condition.
NOTE
The light longitudinal forces are exacerbated by slipstream effects caused by
power. Frequent cross-checks of airspeed are required during climb out to
prevent deviations from the climb airspeed schedule.
Lateral-directional control and trim ability are sensitive throughout the flight
envelope. Avoid chasing the slip/skid ball.
