Tailslides and lomcevaks are not approved.
Proper use and application of controls and rnaneuvering load factors are essential to speed
control. Improper and/or inadequate application
of maneuvering load factors rnay result
in rapid acceleration resulting in unsafe flight situations.

1.10 Kinds of Operation
FAA APPROVED
Page 8 of31
ISSUED: 12-1-2012
Only VFR, day or night, operation is approved. Equipment listed in the Aircraft
Equipment List as
"R" is required to be installed and operational for VFR day or night
flight. Flight into
known icing conditions is prohibited.
1.11 Fuel Limitations
Left and Right Wing Tanks
Total Fuel: 43.0 Gallons; 21.5Gallons
per tank
Useable Fuel: 40.0 Gallons; 20.0 Gallons per tank
Unusable Fuel: 3 .0 Gallons; 1.5 Gallons per tank
A header tank provides fuel for
2. 0 minutes of inverted flight. One minute of positive G
flight is required to completely refill the header tank.
1.12 Outside Air Temperature Limits
Adequate powerplant cooling has been demonstrated for outside air temperatures below
120°F. Remove oil cooler covers when outside air temperature exceeds 40°F.

An electrical fire is usually indicated by an odor of hot or burning insulation and wisps of
smoke. Should an electrical fire develop, the following procedures are recornmended.
1) Master switch - off
2) Electrical switches -off, leave magneto switches on
3) Vents, windows, cabin heaters -closed, open only if necessary for ventilation
4)
If fire continues, land as soon as practical.
If fire/smoke stops and electrical power is required for the rernainder of the flight, turn the
master switch on, followed by the desired circuit switch. Allow one minute between
turning
on each switch in order that the faulty circuit rnay be located and switched off.
2.12 Emergency Exits
The right cabin door serves as the primary exit. The door rnay be removed by releasing
the upper window latches, removing the safety pin, and pulling the red emergency door
release handle. Push the door away from the aircraft
if necessary. Exit may also be made
from left side
of aircraft by opening left window. Force forward portion of window past
the stop by pushing out on the forward window frame.
2.13 Loss of Governor Control
In the event governor failure or oil pressure loss, the propeller will automatically go to the
coarse pitch, low RPM position. Use throttle
as necessary to execute a precautionary
landing.
2.14 Fuel Pressure Loss
In the event of fuel pressure loss or fluctuation, turn "ON" the fuel pump.
2.15 Spin Recovery
Nonnal Category spins are not approved. If a spin in inadvertently entered, initiate
recovery immediately. Refer to Section 3.19 for spin recovery.

Best power can be determined by leaning the mixture until the first indication of power
reduction. Enrich mixture three complete turns from the first indication
of power
reduction. Best power corresponds
to 150°F rich ofpeak EGT. Use best power for cruise
at or above 75% power.
Best economy can be determined by leaning the mixture until the first indication
of power
reduction. Enrich mixture power until smooth and engine power is restored,
approximately one turn. Best economy corresponds
to peak EGT. Use best economy for
cruise below 75% power.

3.15 Alternate Air
Page 18 of31
ISSUED: 12-1-2012
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 when icing is
suspected. Turn "OFF" front and rear cabin heat to maximize alternate air temperature.
Induction icing is indicated by a gradual lass
of manifold pressure or engine roughness.
3.16 Fuel Pump
The fuel pump is used to provide fuel pressure for priming and to provide fuel pressure if
the engine-driven pump fails. The fuel pump should be used during takeoffand landing
and switched
off during normal flight.
3.17 Detuning
Detuning the engine counterweight system can occur when the engine is operated outside
of the normal range or by abrupt throttle movement.
CAUTION
Detuning results in rapid and severe damage to the counterweights, rollers,
and bushings culminating in engine failure.
Avoid rapid throttle movement -give special consideration to high power settings; i.e.
ground run up or in-flight power reduction.
Avoid high rpm and
low manifold pressure - Avoid power-offdescent below 15 in-Hg of
manifold pressure. During approach do not select low pitch (high rpm) until it is assured
that there will be no increase in engine rpm; i.e. idle power below 100 mph IAS.
3.18 Acrobatic Operation
Maneuvers limits are listed in Section 1.8. Determine that all loose objects, including
unused seatbelts, are removed from the aircraft or secured to prevent movement in flight.
Full movement
of the ailerons may be used at speeds up to VA provided the load factor
does not exceed +4.0 or -3.2
g. Use of ailerons above VA should be smooth and limited
to deflections that do not exceed the rate
of roll at VA·
CAUTION
Full abrupt use of the ailerons combined with füll abrupt use of the elevator at
VA may produce loads in excess of design limits.

3,18 Acrobatk Operation (Confümed)
A propeller setting of 2500 rprn is recommended for aII rnaneuvers.
3.19 Spins
Page 19 of31
REVISED: 6-17-2013
Acrobatic Category spins are approved. Lass of altitude including recovery from a six-
tum spin rnay be as much as 3000 ft.
WARNING
Free release of the controls is not adequate for spin recovery; positive
rnovement
of the controls is required.
To enter a spin:
1) Throttle - reduce to idle
2) Airspeed -decelerate to stall
3) Rudder -apply in direction of spin
4) Elevator -apply fully to stall aircraft
Torecover from a spin:
1) Throttle -idle
2) Neutralize ailerons
3) Apply füll rudder opposite of rotation
4) Apply neutral elevator
5) When rotation stops neutralize rudder, apply elevator smoothly to raise nose
3.20 Maximum Demonstrated Crosswind
Maximum dernonstrated crosswind velocity for takeoff and landing is 20 mph (17 knots).
3.21 Tu.rbulence Penetration Speed
Do not exceed 110 mph IAS in rough air to prevent overstressing the aircraft. To
minimize personal discomfort, decrease airspeed to 100 mph IAS. Maintain a constant
pitch rather than flying by reference to the altimeter and airspeed indicators.
3.22 Noise Characteristics
The noise level measured in accordance with FAR 36, Appendix G and ICAO Annex 16,
Vol.
1, Cap. 10 is 80.90 dBA.
No determination has
been made by the Federal Aviation Administration that the noise
Ievels
ofthis airplane are or should be acceptable or unacceptable for operation at, into, or
out of, any airport.
