I.I 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 C.A.R. 3 and FAR .P art 21 Subpart J.
It also contains supplemental data supplied by the airplane manufacturer.
This handbook is not designed as a substitute for adequate and conliJ~tent flight instruction, . ·
knowledge of current airworthine~s 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
c~mmand 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 diviC:{er 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 nwnbers and pages noted as
being intentionally left blank .

*This value is for a standard airplane without optional .equipment. Refer to Figure 6-5 for the useful load
value to be used for C.G. calculations for the airplane .specified.
The following definitions are of symbols, abbreViations and terminology used throughout the.
handbook and those whi~h may be of added operational significance to the pilot.
V~E Maximum Landing Gear Extended Speed is the maximum speed ·at
which an aircraft can be safely flown with the landing gear
extended.
Indicated Pressure· The number actually read from an altimeter when the barometric
Altitude subscale has been set to 29.92 inches of mercury ( 1013 millibars).
Pressure Altitude Altitude measured from standard _sea-level _pressure (29.92 in. Hg)
by a pressure or barometric altimeter. It is the indicated pressure
altitude corrected for position and instrument error. ·In this
handbook! altimeter instrument errors are assumed to be zero.
!.
Climb Gradient The demonstrated ratio of the change in height during a portion of
a climb, to the horizontal distance traversed in the same time
inteival.
Route Segment A part of a route. Each end of that part is identified by: (1) a
geographical location; or (2) a point at which a definite radio fix
can be established. ·

. Reference Datum An .imaginary vertical plane from which all horizontal distances are
measured for balance purposes.
Arm The horizontal distance from the reference· datum fo the center of
gravity (C.G.) of an itein.
Center of Gravity The point at which an airplane would balance if suspended. Its
(C.G.) distance from the referen·ce datum is found by dividing the total
moment by the total weight of the airplane.
C.G.Ann. The arm obtained by adding the airplane's individual moments . and
dividing the sum by the total weight.
C.G. Limits The extreme center of gravity locations within which the airplane
must be operated at a given weight.
Unusable Fuel Fuel remaining ·after a runout test has been completed in
accordance with goven:imental regulations.
Standard Empty Weight Weight of a standard airplane including unusable fuel~ full
operat.fug fluids and full oil. ·
MaXimum Ramp.Weight Maximum weight approved for ground maneuver. (It includes
weight of start, taxi and run up fuei.)
Maximum Takeoff Maximum weight approved for the start of the takeoff run.
