2.2 Airspeed Indicator Range and Markings
The yellow arc defines the “caution” range in which the aircraft
should be flown with care as vertical gusts can damage the airframe
structure. At VNO the airframe is able to support a gust with
3.000 ft/min, at VNE the vertical gust velocity is limited to 1.500 ft/min.

2.4 Flap Extended Speed Range
Flaps may be operated and the aircraft may be flown at airspeeds
higher than VFE as long as flap deflection is limited. Following
restrictions apply as a function of airspeed:

With flaps set to any deflection the safe load factor is limited to 2.
2.5 Operating Maneuvering Speed
operating maneuvering speed VO= 88 kIAS
with 600kg all up weight
operating maneuvering speed VO= 59 kIAS
with 400kg all up weight
For any weight between 400kg and 600kg, the operating
maneuvering airspeed may be interpolated linearly.
At operating maneuvering speed one control, i.e. either aileron, or
elevator or rudder control, may deflected until its stop once. Above
VApermissible deflection is reduced, until at never exceed speed VNE
only one third of the deflection is permitted.

iS G3-8 MA FM 9402 - R01
2 Operating Limitations
Operating Limitations 2 - 5
2.6 Never Exceed Speed
never exceed speed VNE = 135 kTAS
Due do the reduced density of air at altitude, true airspeed is higher
than calibrated or indicated airspeed. Therefore, VNE is limited to
135 kts true airspeed in order to prevent flutter. With increasing
altitude VNE is limited to lower values than indicated by redline
according to the following table.

2.11 Crosswind and Wind Limitations
maximum demonstrated cross wind
component for take-off and landing 15 knots
The maximum demonstrated crosswind component is not a
limitation. The pilot may exceed this demonstrated crosswind
component on his or her own discretion. In case the pilot operates
the aircraft in crosswind components higher than demonstrated he or
she shall be aware of the fact that this flight regime has not been
tested. A general wind limitation is not defined for the REMOS GXiS .
