Issue III
4.5.6 Flight with water ballast. - NOT APPLICABLE
4.5.7 High altitude flight.
Due to the lack of oxygen equipment, high altitude flights are only allowed up to 3000 [m] (9840 [ft])
pressure altitude.
Remember to reduce the VNE with altitude, as per instruction in FM item 2.2 Airspeed, to ensure safe
margin against flutter critical speed.
4.5.8 Flight in rain.
Flight in rain results neither in the considerable deterioration to glider performances, nor in the changes
to its piloting characteristics.
In circling, and in approach maintain the airspeed increased by approx. 5 [km/h] (2.5 [kt]). In poor
visibility, or in case of perspex fogging, open the side window and the cockpit air vent.
The glider considerably wetted by rain should be wiped with a flannel cloth, and allowed to dry with air
brake extended.
NOTE:
After flying in rain, complete the followings:
Drain the water from drainage-units by removing the drainage plugs,
Disconnect the total- and static pressure ducts,
Disconnect the instruments and blow out the ducts, with compressed air, if necessary
Having the ducts dried, re-connect the system and perform a leak-check.
On next day, the glider should be de-rigged and the fittings and bolts greased.
