GENERAL
SECTION I
GENERAL
1.1 INTRODUCTION
This
Pilot's Operating
Handbook
is
designed for maximum utilization
as an
operating
guide
for the
pilot.
It includes the material
required
to be
furnished
to the
pilot
by CAR
3 and FAR Parl2l SubpartJ.It also contains
supplemental
data
supplied by the
airplane manufacturer.
This handbook
is not designed as
a substitute
for
adequate and compe-
tent
flight
instruction, knowledge
of
current airworthiness directives,
appli-
cable
federal air regulations
or
advisory
circulars.
It is not
intended
to
be a
guide for basic flight
instruction or a training
manual and should
not be used
for operational
purposes
unless kept in a current
status.
Assurance
that
the airplane
is in an airworthy condition
is the responsi-
bility
of the
owner. The
pilot
in
command is responsible
for determining
that
the
airplane
is
safe for flight. The
pilot
is also
responsible
for remaining
within
the
operating limitations
as outlined
by
instrument
markings,
placards, and this handbook.
Although
the arrangement of this handbook is intended
to
increase its
in-flight
capabilities,
it should not be used
solely
as an
occasional
operating
reference.
The
pilot
should study the entire handbook to
familiarize
himself
with
the
limitations,
performance, procedures
and operational
handling
characteristics
of the airplane before
flight.
The
handbook
has been divided into numbered
(arabic)
sections,
each
provided
with
a "finger-tip"
tab
divider
for
quick
reference.
The limitations
and emergency
procedures
have been
placed
ahead of
the normal
proce-
dures,
performance
and
other
sections
to
provide
easier access to informa-
tion
that may
be
required
in flight.
The
"Emergency
Procedures"
Section
has
been furnished
with
a
red tab divider
to
present
an instant reference
to
the
section. Provisions for
expansion
ofthe
handbook
have
been made
by
the
deliberate omission
of
certain
paragraph
numbers, figure
numbers,
item
numbers and
pages
noted
as
being
intentionally left
blank.
