: The following procedures apply to an aircraft configured with all
the optional equipment and systems. Skip steps that do not apply to the
specific aircraft if the equipment is not installed. See Chapter 7 for additional
information.
4.2 AIRSPEEDS FOR NORMAL OPERATION
Unless otherwise noted, the following speeds are based on a maximum mass
of 550 kg (1212 lbs) and may be used for any lower actual mass. However, to
achieve the performance specified in Section 5 for takeo and landing dis-
tance, the speed correction appropriate to the particular mass must be used.
