Operating Manoeuvring speed at
‘MTOW’
refers to maximum gross weight =
600kg (1323lb).
**
Operating Manoeuvring speed at
‘Minimum weight’
is calculated based on typical light empty
weight (325kg), a single lightweight occupant (55kg) and 45 minutes reserve fuel (10kg) =
390kg
(860lb).
Typical operating weight will usually always be much heavier.
Note: Refer to Section 5.4 for conversion to Calibrated Airspeed (KCAS)

ASI Markings:
White Arc:
Flap extended speed range (V
S0
to V
FE
)
– flapped stall speed to maximum
allowable with flaps deployed (42-84 KIAS)
Green Arc:
Normal operating Speed range (47-112 KIAS)
Yellow Arc:
Caution speed range
– Do not exceed this speed except in smooth air and
then with caution. (112-140 KIAS)
Red Line:
Do not exceed this speed in any operation (140 KIAS).
