SECTION 1
GENERAL
Do not operate on less than 6 U.S. qt (5.7 litres). To minimize loss of oil
through breather, fill to 9 U.S. qt (8.5 litres) for normal flights of less
than 3 hours. For extended flights, fill to 12 U.S. qt (11.3 litres). These
quantities refer to oil dipstick level readings. During oil and filter
changes 1.3 additional U.S. qt (1.2 lit res) is required for the filter.

METEOROLOGICAL TERMINOLOGY
ISA
OAT
International Standard Atmosphere : Its temperature
is 59°F (15"C) at sea level pressure altitude and decreases
by 3.6°F (2°C) for each 1000 ft of altitude.
Outside Air Temperature is the free air statictemperature.
It is expressed in either degrees Celsius or degrees
Fahrenheit.
QNH Setting at the pressure corresponding to the reading of
actual airplane altitude.
Pressure Altitude:
Is the altitude read from an altimeter when the altimeter's
barometric scale has been set to 29.92 inches of mercury
(1013.2 hPa).
ENGINE POWER TERMINOLOGY
BHP
MP
RPM
Brake Horsepower is the power developed by the engine.
Manifold Pressure is a pressure measured in the engine's
induction system and is expressed in inches of mercury
(in.Hg).
Revolutions Per Minute is engine speed.
AIRPLANE PERFORMANCE AND FLIGHT PLANNING TERMINOLOGY
Climb Gradient:
Is the demonstrated ratio of the change in height during a
portion
of climb, to the horizontal distance traversed in the
same time interval.
Demonstrated crosswind velocity:
9
Is the velocity of the crosswind component for which
adequate control of the airplane during
take-off and landing
was actually demonstrated during certification tests. The
value shown is not considered to be limiting.
Is acceleration due to gravity.
Unusable Fuel:
June 30, 1988

Fuel remaining after a runout test has been completed in
accordance with governmental regulations.

WEIGHT AND BALANCE TERMINOLOGY
Reference Datum:
Arm
Is an imaginary vertical plane from which all horizontal
distances are measured for balance purpose.
Is the horizontal distance from the reference datum to the
center of gravity (C.G.) of an item.
Moment Is the product ofthe weight of an item multiplied by its arm.
(Moment divided by the constant 1000 is used in this
handbook to simplify balance calculations by reducing the
number of digits).
Center of gravity (C.G.) :
C.G. Limits:
IUseful Load:
Is the point at which an airplane, or equipment, would
balance ifsuspended. Its distance from the reference datum
is found by dividing the total moment by the total weight of
the airplane.
Center of GravityLimits are the extreme center of gravity
locations within which the airplane must be operated at a
given weight.
Is the difference between take-off weight and the airplane
empty weight.
Maximum Take-off Weight:
• Is the maximum weight approved for the start and the
take-off run.
Maximum Weight at Landing :
Is the maximum weight approved for landing touch-down.
