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 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
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 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.
