ACROBATIC MANEUVERS

4.12.1

GENERAL

Prior to executing these maneuvers tighten harnesses and check all loose items are stowed.
Start the maneuvers at safe altitude and max continuous power setting if not otherwise
noted.
For maneuver limits refer to Section 2 LIMITATIONS.
After termination of acrobatic maneuvers the artificial horizon (if installed) must be reset if
possible.
At high negative g-loads and zero g-periods it is normal that oil pressure and RPM indication
might drop down momentarily returning to normal status at positive g-loads.
The high permissible load factors of the airplane may exceed the individual physiological limits
of pilot or passenger. This fact must be considered when pulling or pushing high g's.
4.12.2

MANEUVERS

Particular caution must be exercised when performing maneuvers at speeds above V
[154 KIAS (285 km/h)]. Large or abrupt control inputs above this speed may impose
unacceptably high loads which exceed the structural capability of the aircraft.
Acrobatics is traditionally understood as maneuvers like loop, humpty bump, hammerhead
turn, aileron roll etc..
This manual does not undertake to teach acrobatics, however, it is meant to demonstrate
the plane's capabilities.
For this reason maneuvers are divided into segments. The segments are described. Limita-
tions are pointed out.
- Segment horizontal line:
A horizontal line may be flown with any speed between V
4 - 10
