1.1 INTRODUCTION
This Pilot's Operating Handbook
is designed
for maximum utilization
as
an op€rating guide for
the
pilot. It
includes
the material required to
be
furnished
to
the
pilot
by
C.A.R. 3 and FAR
Part2l,
Subpart
J.
It
also
contains sripplemental data supplied
by the airplane manufacturer.
This
handbook
is not
designed
as
a
substitutc
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
thc
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
lbr 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.
