WARNING: The aircraft is not approved for flights above 9000 m
(30000 ft) AMSL.
CAUTION: At higher altitudes the true airspeed (TAS) is higher than
the indicated airspeed (IAS). Reduce the indicated
airspeed to compensate for the effect of high altitude.
Flight in rain
When flying in rain a decrease in glide performance is expected. The
airfoil is specially designed not to have any loss in lift when contaminated
and the stall speed is relatively unaffected by rain and bugs. However, it
is recommended to increase the landing speed by at least 10 km/h (or
5 kts) to compensate for turbulence and descending air often associated
with rain. The direct vision panel can be opened to increase visibility.
See Section 4.5.5 for the recommended approach speeds associated
with flight in rain.
