1. General
1.1. Introduction
This manual has been prepared to provide pilots, instructors and
maintenance personnel with all the information for the safe and
efficient operation of the JS1 sailplanes equipped with jet sustainer
system.
1.2. Certification basis
The JS1 fitted with the turbine jet engine is simply a sustainer version
of the pure sailplane. A jet system designed to sustain the glider in
flight is fitted in the rear fuselage. The system is completely retractable
and, other than requiring additional values for the CG calculation,
does not impact the normal operation of the glider during conventional
soaring flight.
