1.1 INTRODUCTION
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.
