CAUTION
The aircraft will accelerate rapidly with power in a dive. In a high speed dive
with an aggressive pull, it is possible to exceed structural limits if the power
is not reduced.
Asymmetric Manoeuvres
Flight tests have demonstrated that the aircraft exhibits a yawing tendency at high
roll rates. This yawing tendency is greatest for uncoordinated rolling pull-outs
conducted at greater than 2 G.
Follow the guidelines below to minimize yaw in asymmetric manoeuvres.
As much as possible, maintain coordinated roll and yaw control inputs during
asymmetric manoeuvres.
If rolling pull-outs at greater than +2 G are uncoordinated, limit roll input to
one-half lateral stick.
If uncoordinated rolling manoeuvres are initiated at -1 G, the maximum bank
angle change is 180 degrees.
GLIDE PERFORMANCE
Factors which effect glide performance are airspeed, aircraft configuration (landing
gear and flaps), angle of bank, and coordinated or uncoordinated flight.
Maximum range power-off glide airspeed differs with changes in aircraft
configuration. Power-off glide performance at any particular glide speed will be
optimized with a feathered propeller and level wings in balanced/coordinated flight.
Best glide speed in clean configuration is approximately 125 KIAS with a sink rate of
1350 feet per minute and a glide ratio of 2.0 NM/1000 feet.
With the landing gear down and flaps and speed brake retracted, best glide speed is
approximately 105 KIAS with a sink rate of approximately 1500 feet per minute and a
glide ratio of 1.6 NM/1000 feet.
