WARNINGS - CAUTIONS - NOTES
The following definitions apply to warnings, cautions and notes used in the Flight Manual.
WARNING
Means that the non-observation of the corresponding procedure leads to an immediate or important degradation of the flight
safety
CAUTION
Means that the non-observation of the corresponding procedure leads to a minor or to a more or less long-term degradation
of the flight safety
NOTE
Draws the attention to any special item not directly related to safety but which is important or unusual.

Abbreviations & Terminology
Airspeed Terminology
KCAS
Calibrated Airspeed is the indicated airspeed corrected for position and
instrument error and expressed in knots.
KIAS
Indicated Airspeed is the speed shown on the airspeed indicator and
expressed in knots.
KTAS
True Airspeed is the airspeed expressed in knots relative to undisturbed
air, which is KCAS, corrected for altitude and temperature.
VA
Design maneuvering speed
VC
Design cruising speed
VFE
Maximum Flap Extended Speed is the highest speed permissible with
wing flaps in a prescribed extended position.
VH
Max Speed in level flight with Max continuous power
VLO
Lift off speed: is the speed at which the aircraft generally lifts off from the
ground.
VNE
Never Exceed Speed is the speed limit that may not be exceeded at any
time.
VNO
Maximum Structural Cruising Speed is the speed that should not be
exceeded except in smooth air, then only with caution.
VS
Stalling Speed or minimum steady flight speed flaps retracted
VS0
Stalling speed or minimum steady flight speed in landing configuration
VS1
Stalling speed in clean configuration (flap 0°)
VX
Best Angle-of-Climb Speed is the speed, which results in the greatest gain
of altitude in a given horizontal distance.
VY
Best Rate-of-Climb Speed is the speed, which results in the greatest gain
in altitude in a given time.
VR
Rotation speed: is the speed at which the aircraft rotates about the pitch
axis during takeoff.
Meteorology Terminology
OAT
Outside Air Temperature is the free air static temperature expressed in
degrees Celsius (°C).
TS
Standard Temperature is 15°C (59F) at sea level pressure altitude and
decreased by 2°C for each 1000 ft of altitude.
HP
Pressure Altitude is the altitude read from an altimeter when the
barometric subscale has been set to 29.92”
Engine Power Terminology
RPM
Revolutions Per Minute: is the number of revolutions per minute of the
propeller, multiplied by 2.4286 yields engine RPM.

P2008 TC
Flight Manual
10
Airplane Performance and Flight Planning Terminology
Crosswind
Velocity
is the velocity of the crosswind component for which adequate control of the airplane
during takeoff and landing is guaranteed
Usable fuel
is the fuel available for flight planning
Unusable fuel
is the quantity of fuel that cannot be safely used in flight
g
is the acceleration of gravity
TOR
is the takeoff distance measured from actual start to wheel lift off point
TOD
is total takeoff distance measured from start to clearing a 50’ obstacle
GR
is the distance measured during landing from actual touchdown to stop point
LD
is the distance measured during landing, from clearing a 50’ obstacle to actual stop
S/R
is specific range, that is, the distance (in nautical miles) which can be expected at a
specific power setting and/or flight configuration per gallon of fuel used
Weight and Balance Terminology
Datum
“Reference datum” is an imaginary vertical plane from which all horizontal
distances are measured for balance purposes
Arm
is the horizontal distance from the reference datum to the center of gravity
(C.G.) of an item
Moment
is the product of the weight of an item multiplied by its arm
C.G.
Center of Gravity is the point at which the airplane, or equipment, would
balance if suspended. Its distance from the reference datum is found by
dividing the total moment by the total weight of the airplane
Empty Weight
Empty Weight is the weight of the airplane with engine fluids and oil at
operating levels
Useful Load
is the difference between takeoff weight and the empty weight
Maximum Takeoff Weight
is the maximum weight approved for the start of the takeoff run
Maximum Landing Weight
is the maximum weight approved for the landing touch down
Tare
is the weight of chocks, blocks, stands, etc. used when weighing an airplane,
and is included in the scale readings; tare is then deducted from the scale
reading to obtain the actual (net) airplane weight

1.7 Airframe
1.7.1 Wing
The wing is constructed of a central light alloy torque box; an aluminum leading edge is attached to the front spar while
flap and aileron are hinged to rear spar. Flaps are constructed of a center spar to which front and rear ribs are joined; wrap-
around aluminum skin panels cover the flap structure. The aileron is constructed of an aluminum spar to which a formed
sheet metal leading edge and metal ribs are attached; a wrap-around. Aluminium material covers aileron structure.
The wing box incorporates the integral fuel tanks of 52liters each.
1.7.2 Fuselage
The fuselage and the vertical stabilizer are made up of a composite fiber structure. The engine housing is isolated from the
cabin by a stainless steel firewall (0.5mm thick); the steel engine mount is attached to the cabin's composite structure.
NOTE: See the AMM for the lamination schemes and repair procedures.
1.7.3 Empennage
The vertical tail is made up of a mixed structure: the vertical stabilizer is made up of composite fiber while the rudder
consists of an aluminum torque stringer connected to light alloy ribs and skin. The horizontal tail is an all-moving type
(stabilator); its structure consists of an aluminum spar connected to ribs and leading edge; the entire structure is covered
with aluminum material.
1.7.4 Flight controls
The control surfaces are manually operated using a control stick for ailerons and stabilator and rudder pedals for the rudder;
longitudinal control acts through a system of push-rods and is equipped with a trim tab. Aileron control is of mixed type
with push-rods and cables; the cable control circuit is confined within the cabin and is connected to a pair of push-rods
positioned in the wings that control ailerons differentially. Aileron trimming is carried out on ground through a small tab
positioned on left aileron.
Flaps are extended via an electric servo actuator controlled by a switch on the panel. Flaps act in a continuous mode; a
panel mounted indicator shows surface position. A fuse positioned on the right side of the panel protects the electric circuit.
Longitudinal trim is performed by a small tab positioned on the stabilator and controlled via an electric servo actuator by
pushing an Up/Down push-button located on the control stick.

1.7.5 Instrument Panel
The instrument panel is of conventional type, allowing space for a broad range of equipment.

Fig. 1-2 Instrument Panel
1.7.6 Cabin Heat / Defrost
The cabin heat control knob (if available) is positioned on the lower of the instrument panel; when knob is pulled fully
outward, cabin receives maximum hot air. Vents are located by the rudder pedals and above instrument panel. If necessary,
outside fresh air can be circulated inside cabin by opening the vents on the panel.
1.7.7 Throttle Friction Lock
Adjust the engine's throttle friction by tightening or loosening the friction lock located on the console side near center
throttle control.
1.7.8 Seats, Seatbelts, and Shoulder harnesses
The P2008usually comes with three point safety belts with waist and diagonal straps adjustable via a sliding metal buckle.
Standard seats are aluminum with cushions. Seats are adjustable fore and aft by using the handle located under the seat on
the outboard sides. Pushing the lever towards the center of the aircraft will release the locking pin allowing you to move the
seat fore and aft. Release the lever when the desired position is found making sure that the locking pin reengages in the seat
track.
P2008 is equipped with standard bucket seat for the access to the baggage compartment. The same lever allows the pilot to
regulate the seat in two position: 20° and 25° to increase the flight comfort.
WARNING
Make sure that the locking pin is securely installed or the seat will not lock in position.

1.7.9 Doors
Standard doors feature a composite frame supporting a clear or tinted window. An internal safety latch mechanism is
positioned in proximity of door's upper edge and must be used before flight to secure door. Mechanism rotates, before
flight, to engage doorframe to cabin composite frame.
1.7.10 Baggage compartment
The baggage compartment is located behind the seats. Baggage shall be uniformly distributed and its weight shall not
exceed 20 kg (44 lbs) and the c.g. must be computed before flight. Always tie down the baggage by using the adjustable tie-
down net provided.
