manuals: Maximum maneuvering speed and the "red line"
or "never exceed" speed. Such speed limits are set to pro-
tect the structure of an airplane. For example, flight centrols
are designed to be used to their fullest extent only below the
airplane's maximum maneuvering speed. As a result, the
eontroi surfaces should never be suddenly or fully deflected
above maximum maneuvering speed. Turbulance penetra-
tion should not be performad above that speed. The acci-
dents we are discussing here occur at airspeeds greatly in
excess ot these limitations. No airplane should ever be flown
beyond its FAA approved operating limitations.
STALL$, SLOW FL/GHT AND TRAINING
The stall warning system must be kept operational at all
tirnas and must not be deactivated by interruption ot circuits,
circuit breakers, or fuses. Compliance with this requirement
is especially important in all high performance single engine
airplanes during simulated angine-out praclice or stall dem-
onstrations, because the stall speed is critical in all low-
speed operation of airplanes.
Training should be accomplished under the supervision ot a
qualified instructor-pilot, with caretui reference to the appli-
cable sections ot the FAA Practical TestStandardsand FAA
Pllot Transition Courses for Complex Single Engine and
Light Twin Engine Airplanes (AC 61-9). In particular,
observe carefully the warnings in the Practical Test Stan-
dards.
SPINS
A major cause of fatal accidents in
generał
aviation air-
planes is a spin. Stall demonstrations and praclice are a
means for a pilot to acquire the skilis to recognize when a
stall is about to occur and to recover as soon as the first
signs ot a stall are evident.
lf a stall does not occur ·A spin cannot occur.
