SECTION 2
LIMITATIONS
In the utility category, the baggage compartment and rear seat must
not be occupied. No aerobatic maneuvers are approved except those listed
below:
MANEUVER
Chandelles .
Lazy Eights
Steep Turns
Spins
Stalls (Except Whip Stalls)
* Abrupt use of the controls is prohibited above 97 knots.
Aerobatics that may impose high loads should not be attempted. The
important thing to bear in mind in flight maneuvers is that the airplane is
clean in aerodynamic design and will build up speed quickly with the nose
down. Proper speed control is an essential requirement for execution of
any maneuver, and care should always be exercised to avoid excessive
speed which in turn can impose excessive loads. In the execution of all
maneuvers, avoid abrupt use of controls. Intentional spins with flaps
extended are prohibited.
