LIMITATIONS
2.1 GENERAL
This section includes operating limitations, instrument markings, and basic placards
necessary for the safe operation of the aircraft, its engine, standard systems, and standard
equipment.The limitations includedinthis section havebeen approved bytheEASA.
Observanceoftheseoperatinglimitationsisrequiredbynationalaviationregulations.
N O T E
In case of an aircraft equipped with specific options additional information required
for safe operation will be contained in Section 9 "Supplements".
Instrument markings and placards are provided for the acrobatic category only; for normal
categoryrefertocorrespondinglimitations.ThisaircraftiscertifiedunderTypeCertification
DataSheet (T.C.D.S. EASA.A.362).
Any exceedance of given limitations has to be reported by the pilot so that necessary
inspectionor maintenance proceduresaccording tothe SERVICE MANUALEA 300/L canbe
performed.

2.4.2 ENGINELIMITATIONS
a) Rotational Speed
-MaximumTake-OffandMaximumContinuous 2700rpm
b) Oil-temperature
-Max 118°C 245°F
c) Oil capacity
-Maximum sump capacity: 15.13L 16 US.qt
-Minimum sump capacity: 8.51 L 9 US.qt
d) Oil pressure
-MinimumIdling 172 kPa 25 Psi
-Normal 379 - 655 kPa 55 - 95 Psi
-Starting,Warmup,
TaxiandTake-Off 793 kPa 115 Psi
W A R N I N G
It is normal for the oil pressure to "flicker" from 10 to 30 psi (69 to 207 kPa) when
going from upright to inverted flight. During knife edge flights and zero-g flights oil
pressure may drop and the oil system may not scavenge resulting in engine failure
or damage if flight is prolonged.
Knife edge and zero-g flight should not exceed 10 seconds.
W A R N I N G
If oil pressure drops to 0 psi (kPa) the propeller pitch changes automatically to
coarse (high) pitch with a corresponding decrease in RPM.
Apply positive g to avoid engine stoppage.
e) Fuel pressure
-Max 276 kPa 40 Psi
-Min 124 kPa 18 Psi
-MinIdle 83 kPa 12 Psi
