FLIGHT

PREFLIGHT CHECKLIST

The checklist below is recommended before every aircraft flight. Aircraft operators are encouraged to add more items that
might be required for particular operations.
1. Weather Limitations
Although the Evolve is a high performance aircraft, weather can be a crucial factor to flight performance and safe
operations. Caution must be observed when it comes to weather planning. Effective weather planning breaks down to
these criteria:
•
Weather information gathering – This can be achieved by watching your local news weather station and by
using the web and APP tools like The Weather Channel and NOAA.
•
Knowledge of weather patterns in your operational area – Search for local weather patterns with similar APP
tools for forecasting weather.
•
Executing flight plan and go or no go situations based on the weather information – Be sure to make
informed decisions based on accurate weather information and remember no flight is too important to
ignore hazards created by inclement weather.
If these criteria are met, the chances of a crash or close calls are substantially reduced.
Below is the weather limitation of the Evolve:
•
Wind speed - 25mph for maximum safe operations.
•
Outside temperature - 0°C ( coldest recommended temperature ) - 40°C ( hottest recommended
temperature).
•
Visibility – At least 5 statute miles of clear visibility and a minimum cloud cover ceiling of 400ft.
•
Fog – Not recommended to fly.
•
