SECTION I
GENERAL
1.T 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
FAR/CAR.
It also
contains supplemental
data
supplied by
the airplane
manufacturer.
This handbook
is not designed
as a substitute for
adequate and
competent
flight instruction,
knowledge
of current airworthiness
directives,
applicable
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
responsibility 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
procedures,
performance and other sections
to
provide
easier
access
to
information 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 of
the
handbook have
been
made by the
deliberate
omission
of certain
paragraph numbers, figure
numbers, item numbers
and
pages
noted as being intentionally
left
blank.
