2.2 AIRSPEED LIMITATIONS

SPEED
Never Exceed Speed (V
speed in any operation.
Maximum Structural Cruising Speed (V
not exceed this speed except in smooth air and then
only with caution
Design Maneuvering Speed (V
or abrupt control movements above this speed
At 2550 LBS. G.W.
At 1634 LBS. G.W.
Maneuvering speed decreases at lighter weight as the effects of
aerodynamic forces become more pronounced. Linear interpolation
may be used for intermediate gross weights. Maneuvering speed should
Maximum Flaps Extended Speed (V
exceed this speed with the flaps extended.

2.3 AIRSPEED INDICATOR MARKINGS

MARKING
Red Radial Line (Never Exceed)
Yellow Arc (Caution Range – Smooth Air Only)
Greed Arc (Normal Operating Range)
White Arc (Flap Down)
