Definitions Speeds Standard Atmosphere Standard Atmosphere is the pressure at sea level at 15°C. The standard lapse rate is approx. 2°C per 1000ft increase in altitude. Airfield Pressure Altitude The Airfield Pressure Altitude is that altitude registered at the surface of the aerodrome by an altimeter with the pressure subscale set to 1013 millibars Density Altitude The Pressure Altitude corrected for non standard...

Fuselage Consists of a reticular structure made up of TIG-welded 4130 aeronautical steel tubing. Access to the cockpit is gained via a single canopy on the right hand side of the fuselage which opens upwards. The fully adjustable seating frame, ample space for the pilots, good all-round visibility and ergonomic controls make flying comfortable and safe even over long distances.
Cabin The cabin is tandem seating. Each pilot has a four point seatbelt. The pilot flies from the front seat when he flies solo. The baggage area can carry up to 20 Kg. Controls On the left side Two throttles One trim lever One flap lever On the floor:...

Then retract flap fully and continue to climb at or above Maximum Recommended Turbulent Air Penetration Speed Maximum Demonstrated Crosswind Velocity Checklist & Procedures Pre-flight Inspection Prior to flight, the aircraft should be inspected in accordance with the following checklists and in the sequence shown in the following diagram: NOTE Visually check airplane for general condition during walk-around inspection.
Pre-flight Inspection Checklists 1 Fuel Fuel Quantity Check level in tank through visual Water Check Before first flight of the day & after each refuelling, drain small quantity of fuel from fuel drain valve & check for water & sediment. Fuel Filler Cap Check secure on each wing 2 Empennage...
Warm-Up and Functional Check Warm-up the engine with a fast idle of 1500 - 2500 RPM until the oil temperature reaches 50 degrees C. During this phase, the cooling is insufficient due to reduced airflow. It is therefore advisable not to shorten the warm-up time by running the engine at higher RPM. The aircraft should be pointed into wind to allow additional cooling air.
Taxi Instructions Normal taxi is provided with throttle, tail wheel and brakes. The right application and coordination makes taxing easy. Brakes and pedals are placed so they operate together. Let the speed of the airplane increase slowly and check the brakes operation. The tail wheel is used to control normal operations on the ground.
Take Off with Obstacles Follow instructions as by the short take off after the T.O. rise up and increase the speed in ground effect to 56 – 60 knots, be sure that you will miss the obstacle. Take Off with Cross Wind Keep the flaps in the neutral position and follow the instructions for a normal takeoff (except for flaps) keep the runway direction with the rudder pedals.
Throttle FULL OPEN Brakes RELEASE Elevator Control LIFT THE TAIL Take off Speed 32 knots Landing Warning: In case of protracted descent with minimal engine speed, the engine can sometimes rapidly cool and ice can be formed in the carburettor. Therefore we remind you to be aware of carburettor icing.
Aborted Landing If it is necessary to abort the landing use full power. At the moment when sufficient speed or height is reached retract the flaps. (Speed 56-58 knots). Stall This airplane has good stability and the flight features. The features of the stall of this airplane are normal and gentle.

SAFETY WARNINGS Never prepare fuel in an area that is enclosed or where fumes could reach ignition point. DO NOT SMOKE or allow open flames or sparks in the vicinity. Never add fuel while the engine is running. Never refuel an aircraft if fuel could be spilled on hot engine components or lexan. (THE LEXAN WILL CRACK IMMEDIATELY IN THIS CASE) Use only approved fuel containers and never transport fuel in an unsafe manner.
At altitudes under 2000 feet, avoid flying in close proximity to houses or over parks and recreational areas During approach to or departure from an airport, climb after takeoff and descent for landing should be made so as to avoid prolonged flight at low altitude near noise sensitive areas.
Maximum Glide Distance, Still Air 56 – 60 knots Precautionary Landing Approach with Engine Power 40 – 43 knots Landing Approach Without Engine Power landing Flaps Up 47 knots landing Flaps Down 43 knots Note: A slightly higher speed may give better distance over the ground if gliding into wind; a slightly lower speed if gliding downwind.

due to centrifugal forces acting on the object-forces which tend to pull the object away from the centre of the circle and keeps it moving in a straight line. You have increased the pull on the string to overcome these forces thus creating the centripetal forces noted above-forces which tend to push the object toward the centre of the circle and produce a curved path of travel.

An abrupt pull-up at high speed is very likely to cause structural failure. No matter how strong an airplane has been designed there is a speed above which it is possible to break the wings. Some military airplanes are so strong that the pilot "blacks out" before he can put enough load on the wings or reach a speed which would break the wings.

3. THOU SHALL EVER TAKE HEED UNTO AIR TRAFFIC RULES : Keep a constant lookout for other aircraft. Follow the rules so that pilots of other planes will know what you are going to do. 4. THOU SHALL NOT MAKE FLAT TURNS : This is particularly important when making power-off turns.
