2.3 Airspeed Indicator Range and Markings
The following markings must be on the airspeed indicator at least.
Additional markings are permissible, e.g. for recommended approach
speed or for maneuvering airspeed.
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.

2.5 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:

2.6 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 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.

G3-8 MA FM 5202 - R03
2 Operating Limitations
Operating Limitations 2 - 5
2.7 Never Exceed Speed
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.

2.12 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 GX.
