SECTION 1
GENERAL
This
Pilot's
Operating
Handbook
is designed for maximum utilization as an operating guide for the
pilot.
It
includes the material required to be furnished to the pilot by C.A.R. 3 and FAR Part 21, Subpart J.
It
also contains supplemental data supplied by the airplane manufacturer.
This
handbook
is
not
designed
as
a
substitute
for
adequate
and
competent
flight
instruction,
knowledge
of
current airworthiness directives. applicable federal air regulations
or
advisory circulars. It is
not intended to be a guide for basic flight instruction
or
a training manual and should not be used for
operational purposes unless kept in a current status.
Assurance that the airplane is in an airworthy condition is the responsibility
of
the owner. The pilot in
command
is responsible for determining that the airplane is safe
for
flight.
The
pilot is also responsible for
remaining
within
the
operating
limitations
as
outlined
by
instrument
markings,
placards,
and
this
handbook.
Although the arrangement
of
this handbook is intended to increase its in-flight capabilities, it should
not be used solely as an occasional operating reference. The pilot should study the entire handbook to
familiarize himself with the limitations, performance, procedures and operational handling characteristics
of
the airplane before flight.
The handbook has been divided into numbered (arabic) sections, each provided with a
"finger-tip"
tab
divider
for quick reference.
The
limitations
and emergency procedures have
been
placed
ahead
of
the
normal procedures. performance and other sections to provide easier access to information that may be
required
in flight. The
"Emergency
Procedures"
Section
has been
furnished
with
a red
tab
divider
to
present an instant reference to the section. Provisions for expansion
of
the handbook have been made by
the deliberate omission
of
certain paragraph numbers. figure numbers. item numbers and pages noted as
being left blank intentionally.
