2.0 Procedures
2.1 Normal Procedures
2.1.1 Emergency Fuel Pump
The emergency fuel pump is used only to (1) provide fuel pressure for priming
prior to starting engine and (2) provide fuel pressure in case the engine-driven
pump fails. The emergency pump should be off during normal flight.
2.1.2 Parachutes
Backpack style parachutes may be used by removing seat back cushions.

FAA APPROVED
Page 12 of 19
AIRPLANE FLIGHT MANUAL - MODEL 8KCAB Revision: H
Issued:
2.1.3 Inverted Fuel and Oil Systems
The inverted fuel system consists of a 1.5 gal. header tank in the forward cabin
with a standpipe to draw fuel from the center of the tank. One-half (0.75 gals.) of
the tank capacity is useable in inverted flight. The system is completely
automatic; however, sufficient time (see Section 1.2.6) must be allowed between
periods of continuous inverted flight to allow the header tank to refill.
The inverted oil system consist of an inverted/upright shuttle valve, an oil/air
separator canister and a system of interconnecting lines. This system is
completely automatic (see also Section 2.1.7).
Oil pressure may be interrupted momentarily in certain aircraft attitudes or during
certain combinations of maneuvers. These interruptions are normal but should
not be allowed to extend beyond 15 seconds (avoid extended right knife edge
flight).
2.1.4 Rotating Beacons and Strobe Lights
Particularly at night, reflections from clouds, haze or dust can produce optical
illusion and intense Vertigo. Under these conditions, rotating beacons and strobe
lights should be turned off prior to entering.
2.1.5 Fuel System
The total useable fuel capacity is 40 gallons, of which approximately 20 gallons is
carried in each wing tank. The wing tanks are interconnected both in the vent
system and the fuel feed system, and may be considered as one tank. Fuel feeds
simultaneously from both tanks and the total fuel quantity in each tank is shown
by a right and left tank gauge. The gauges are marked in fractions of the total fuel
(E, ¼, ½, ¾, F) and reads “E” (Empty) with unusable fuel in the tanks. Fuel tank
caps are not vented and must seal completely to prevent a difference in fuel level
between the two tanks.
2.1.6 Alternate Air
Avoid using alternate air on the ground. With alternate air on, induction air is not
filtered and abrasive dirt particles may enter the engine. In flight, use alternate air
only when icing is suspected, i.e. since heat cause partial loss of power, do not
use when landing unless atmospheric conditions indicate that icing is probable,
because full power may be needed on a go-around.
2.1.7 Cold Weather Operation

FAA APPROVED
Page 13 of 19
AIRPLANE FLIGHT MANUAL - MODEL 8KCAB Revision: H
Issued:
For operational procedures related to cold weather operation consult the
Lycoming Operators Manual. Due to the length of oil lines, special care should
be exercised during starting to assure that engine oil pressure is obtained within
30 seconds after start.
It is recommended that the engine compartment be preheated prior to start if the
ambient temperature is below 20°F.
2.1.8 Acrobatic Operation
Maneuvering speed (VA) is maximum speed (for an established operating weight)
at which full and / or abrupt use of the elevator control will not cause load factors
in excess of the +6 G’s in Normal Operations or –5 G’s in Inverted or Outside
Operations.
Full and / or abrupt movement of ailerons may be used at speeds up to VA
provided that the load factor does not exceed +4 G’s or –3.2 G’s. Use of ailerons
above VAor above +4 G’s or –3.2 G’s should be smooth and limited to
deflections which will cause a roll rate not exceed that roll rate achieved with full
aileron at VA.
Caution: Full abrupt use of the ailerons with simultaneous use of full abrupt
elevator at VA may produce loads in excess of design limits.
Propeller RPM is limited to 2600 RPM maximum during acrobatic maneuvers.
For solo acrobatic operations, determine that the rear seat folding back has
restrainer cables to prevent back from folding completely forward and interfering
with rear stick movement. Ascertain that all loose or hanging objects, including
unused seatbelts, are removed from the aircraft or are secured to prevent
movement in flight.

Turn off unnecessary electrical equipment to reduce battery drain. Master switch
may be turned off to conserve battery power if necessary.
Indication of electrical fire(s) may be wisps of smoke or the smell of hot or
burning insulation. Should an electrical file develop, the following procedures
are recommended:
1) Master switch “OFF”.
2) All electrical switches “OFF”.
3) Open air vents or windows ONLY if absolutely necessary for ventilation.
4) Proceed to the nearest suitable airport for landing.
If electrical power is necessary for safety of flight under the above conditions, the
following procedures are recommended:
1) Disengage and isolate each power circuit.
2) Engage each circuit separately. Allow sufficient time to analyze for faulty
operation.
3) When faulty circuit is identified, disengage faulty circuit.
