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 (360kg), a single lightweight occupant (55kg) and 45 minutes reserve fuel (10kg) =
415kg
(915lb).
Typical operating weight will usually always be much heavier.
Note: Refer to Section 5.3 for conversion to Calibrated Airspeed.
2.0.1
ASI Markings:
White Arc:
Flap extended speed range
– 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).
2.1 AIRCRAFT SERVICE CEILING
