INTRODUCTION
This Pilot's Operating Handbook and FAA Approved Air-
plane Flight Manual is in the format and contains data
recommended in
the GAMA (General Aviation Manu-
facturers Association) Handbook Specification Number 1.
Use of this specification by all manufacturers will provide
the pilot the same type data in
the same place in all ot the
handbooks.
In recent years BEECHCRAFT handbooks contained most
ot the data now provided, however, the new handbooks
contain
mote detailed data and some entirely new data.
For example,
attention is called to Section X SAFETY IN-
FORMATION.
While little ot the information is new and
every
pilot has been exposed to the basie fundamentals,
BEECHCRAFT feels it is
highly important to have SAFETY
INFORMATION in a condensed form in the hands
ot the
pilots. The SAFETY INFORMATION should be read and
studied. Periodic
review will serve as a reminder ot good
piloting techniques.
