Uncontrolled if printed
8. Dropping is only allowed during straight, horizontal, coordinated, and
unaccelerated flight, with the flaps at 20°.
9. Maximum operating airspeed with cargo door removed (jump door open)
is 120 KIAS.
10. Minimum airspeed with the jump door open is 70 KIAS.
11. Maximum indicated airspeed during parachute dropping (green jump
signal light ON) is 80 KIAS.
12. Maximum bank angle while maneuvering with the jump door open (amber
jump signal light ON) is 10 degrees.
13. Intentional stalls are prohibited with the jump door open.
14. All loose equipment in the cabin must be secured or stowed.

WAR NI N G:
while the airplane is in the jump condition (75 KIAS, 20° Flaps, Maximum
Bank Angle of 10°, level and coordinated flight). Flight tests have been
accomplished up to this transient CG limit to ensure safe operation of the
aircraft in a limited flight envelope (jump condition only). DO NOT exceed
the aft transient limit of 84.02 inches aft of datum (45.00% MAC) as the
aircraft will become unstable and loss of control may occur.
