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 the 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 e m e rgency 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.
