4.8. Cruising flight ATEC 212 SOLO has good flight features in the whole range of permitted speeds and centre of gravity positions. The cruising speed is in the range 120 – 243 km/h …… 65 – 131 kt. 4.9.
Page 22
4.10. Flight in the rain During the flight in the rain, the pilotage should be carried out with increased caution because of the decreased visibility and cockpit transparency. Furthermore, one should take into account a shortened hold-up position during the landing and extended take-off distance. Maintain the following speeds during the flight in the rain: Climb away 140 km/h...
