CAUTION
1. Over 65 mph, the pilot must manoeuvre with caution.
Although the limit load factor of 4.67 G should never be exceeded,
the pilot can do so inadvertently with abrupt manoeuvres. Speeds
between 65 mph and the 98 mph (or 66 mph and 100 mph for
those gliders with gross weight of 1080 lbs) shall be treated as a
cautionary range and manoeuvring within this range should be
reduced to a minimum as velocity increases.
CAUTION
2. A safety factor of 1.5 is required for certification giving an
ultimate load factor of 7.0 G to allow for material variations and
inadvertent atmospheric conditions. Because of its light wing
loading, the 2-33 can develop very high loads if speed limitations
are not rigidly observed.
