NORMAL CATEGORY
This airplane is certificated in both the normal and utility category. The normal category is applicable to aircraft intended for non-aerobatic operations. These include any maneuvers incidental to normal flying, stalls (except whip stalls), lazy eights, chandelles, and turns in which the angle of bank is not more than 60. Aerobatic maneuvers, including spins, are not approved.
SECTION: | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | SUPP |
LIMITATIONS PAGE 4
UTILITY CATEGORY
This airplane is not designed for purely aerobatic flight. However, in the aquisition of various certificates such a commercial pilot and flight instructor, certain maneuvers are required by the FAA. All of these maneuvers are
permitted in this airplane when operated in the utility category. In the utility category, the baggage compartment and rear seat must not be occupied. No aerobatic maneuvers are approved except those listed below:
MANEUVER Chandelles Lazy Eights Steep Turns Spins Stalls (except Whip Stalls)
RECOMMENDED ENTRY SPEED* 105 knots 105 knots 95 knots Slow Deceleration Slow Deceleration
Aerobatics that may impose high loads should not be attempted. The important thing to bear in mind in flight maneuveres is that the airplane is clean in aerodynamic design and will buils up speed quickly with the nose down. Proper speed control is an essential requirement for execution of any maneuver, and care should always be exercised
to avoid excessive speed which in turn can impose excessive loads. In the execution of all maneuvers, avoid abrupt use of the controls. Intentional spins with flaps extended are prohibited.

[1] [2] [3] Turn pitot heat switch ON (if installed) Turn back or change altitude to obtain an outside air temperature that is less conductive to icing. Pull cabin heat control full out and open defroster outlets to obtain maximum windshield defroster airflow. Adjust cabin air control to get maximum defroster heat and airflow. Open the throttle to increase engine speed and minimize ice build up on propeller blades. Watch for signs of carburetor air filter ice and apply carburetor heat as required. An unexplained loss in engine speed could be caused by carburetor ice or air intake filter ice. Lean the mixture for maximum RPM, if carburetor heat is used continously. Plan a landing at the nearest airport. With an extremely rapid ice build-up, select a suitable off airport landing site. With an ice accumulation of 1/4 inch or more on the wing leading edges, be prepared for significantly higher stall speed. Leave wing flaps retracted. With a severe ice build-up on the horizontal tail, the change in wing wake airflow direction caused by wing flap extension could result in a loss of elevator effectiveness. Open left window and, if practical, scrape ice from a portion of the windshield for visibility in the landing approach. Perform a landing approach using a forward slip, if necessary, for improved visibility. Approach at 65 to 75 KIAS depending upon the amount of the accumulation. Perform a landing in level attitude.

Throughout this Section we will consider the following specifications an example to demonstrate usage of the performance charts. TAKEOFF CONDITIONS Field length Field pressure altitude Temperature CRUISE CONDITIONS Total distance Pressure Altitude Temperature Expected wind enroute LANDING CONDITIONS Field length Field pressure altitude Temperature 3200 feet 2000 feet 30C 320 nm 5500 feet 20C 10 knot headwind 3000 feet 2000 feet 25C
TAKE O F F
The takeoff distance chart, figure 5-4 should be consultet, keeping in mind that that the distances shown are based on the short field technique. Conservative distances can be established by reading the chart at the next higher value of weight, altitude and temperature. For example, a weight of 2400 pounds, pressure altitude of 2000 feet and a temperature of 30C should result in the following:
Ground roll Total distance to clear a 50-foot obstacle A correction for the effect of wind may be based on Note 3 of the
12 Knots 9 Knots
This results in the following distances, corrected for wind: Ground roll, zero wind Decrease in ground roll (1200 Feet 13%) Corrected Ground Roll 1200 156 1044
Total distance to clear a 50-foot obstacle, zero wind Decrease in total distance (2220 Feet 13%) Corrected total distance to clear 50-foot obstacle

PERFORMANCE PAGE 2
CRUI S E
The cruising altitude should be selected based on a consideration of trip length, winds aloft, and the airplanes performance. A typical cruising altitude and the expected wind enroute have been given for the sample problem. However, the power setting selection for cruise must be determined based on several considerations. These include the cruise performance characteristics presented in figure 5-7, the range profile chart presented in figure 5-8, and the endurance profile chart presented in figure 5-9. The relationship between power and range is illustrated by the range profile chart. Considerable fuel savings and longer range result when lower power settings are used. For thze sample problem, a cruise power of approximately 65% will be used. The cruise performance chart, figure 5-7, is centered at 6000 feet altitude and 20C above standard temperature. These values most nearly correspond to the planned altitude and expected temperature conditions. The engine speed chosen is 2500 RPM, which results in the following:
F UE L RE Q UI RE D
The total fuel requirement for the flight may be estimated using the performance information in figzres 5-6 and 5-7. For the sample problem, figure 5-6 shows that a climb from 2000 feet to 6000 feet requires 1.6 gallons of fuel. The corresponding distance during the climb is 10 nautical miles. These values are for a standard temperature and are sufficiently accurate for most flight planning purposes. However, a further correction for the effect of temperature may be made as noted on the climb chart. The approximate effect of a nonstandard temperature is to increase the time, fuel, and distance by 10% for each 10C above standard temperature, due to the lower rate of climb. In this case, assuming a temperature 16C above standard, the correction would be:
16C 10C
With this factor included, the fuel estimate would be calculated as follows:
Fuel to climb, standard temperature Increase due to non-standard temperature (1.6 16%) Corrected fuel to climb

Using a similar procedure for the distance to climb results in 12 nautical miles. The resultant cruise distance is:
nm
With an expected 10 knot headwind, the ground speed for cruise is predicted to be:
Therefor, the time required for the cruise portion of the trip is:
= 3.0 hours

Once the flight is underway, ground speed checks will provide a more accurate basis
for estimating the time enroute and the corresponding fuel required to complete the trip

A procedure similar to takeoff should be used for estimating the landing distance at the destination airport. Figure 5-10 presents landing distance information for the short field technique. The distance corresponding to 2000 feet and 30C are as follows:

Oil for the engine lubrication is supplied from a sump at the bottom of the engine. The capacity of the enfine sump is seven quarts (one additional quart is contained in the full flow oil filter. Oil is drawn from the sump through an oil suction strainer screen into the enginedriven oil pump. From the pump oil is routed to a bypass valve. If the oil is cold, the bypass valve allows the oil to bypass the oil cooler and go directly from the pump to the full flow oil filter. If the oil is hot, the bypass valve routes the oil out of the accessory housing and into a flexible hose leading to the oil cooler on the right rear engine baffle. Pressure oil from the cooler returns to the accessory housing where it passes through the full flow oil filter. The filter oil then enters a pressure relief valve which regulates engine oil pressure by allowing excessive oil to return to the sump while the balance of the oil is circulated to various engine parts for lubrication. Residual oil is returned to sump by gravity flow. An oil filter cap/oil dipstick is located at the right rear of the engine. The filler cap/dipstick is accesible through an access door on the top right side of the engine cownling. The engine should not be operated on less that five quarts of oil. For extended flight fill to seven quarts (dipstick indication only).
I GN I TI O N -S TARTE R S YS TE M
Engine ignition is provided by two engine-driven magnetos, and two spark plugs in each cylinder. The right magneto fires the lower right and upper right spark-plugs. Normal operation is conducted with both magnetos due to the more complete burning of the fuel-air mixture with dual ignition. Ignition and starter operation is controlled by a rotary type switch located on the left switch and control panel. The switch is labelled clockwise: OFF, R, L, BOTH and START. The engine should be operated on BOTH magnetos except for magnetochecks. The R and L position are for checking purposes and emergency use only. When the switch is rotated to the spring-loaded STARTposition, the starter contactor is energized and the starter will crank the engine. When the switch is released, it will automatically return to the BOTHposition.
AI R I N DUCTI O N S YS TE M
The engine air induction system receives ram air through an intake in the lower front portion of the engine cowling. The intake is covered by an air-filter which removes dust and other foreign matter from the induction air. Airflow passing through the filter enters an airbox. After passing through the airbox, induction air
enters the inlet in the carburetor which is under the engine, and is then ducted to the engine cylinders through intake manifold tubes. In the event carburetor ice is encountered or the intake filter becomes blocked, alternate heated air can beobtained from a shroud around an exhaust riser through a duct to a valve in the
airbox operated by the carburetor heat control on the instrument panel. Heated air from the shroud is obtained from an unfiltered outside source. Use of full carburetor heat at full throttle will result in a loss of approximately 75 to 150 RPM.
CARBURE TO R AN D PRI M I N G S YS TE M
The engine is equipped with an up-draft, float-type, jetcarburetor mounted on the bottom of the engine. The carburetor is equipped with an enclosed accelerator pump, an idle cut-off mechanism and a manual mixture control. Fuel is delivered to the carburetor by gravity flow from the fuel system. In the carburetor, fuel is atomized, properly mixed with intake air and delivered to the cylinders through intake manifold tubes. The proportion of atomized fuel to air may be controlled, within limits, by the mixture control on the instrument panel. For easy starting in cool weather, the engine is equipped with a manual primer. The primer is actually a small pump which draws fuel from the fuel strainer when the plunger is pulled out, and injects it into the cylinder intake ports when the plunger is pushed back in.

Ram air for engine cooling enters through two intake openings in the front of the engine cowling. The cooling air is directed around the cylinders and other areas of the engine by baffling, and is then exhausted through an opening at the bottom aft edge of the cowling. No manual cooling system control is provided.
PRO PE L L E R
The airplane is equipped with a two-bladed, fixed-pitch, one-piece forged aluminium alloy propeller wich is anodized to retard corrosion. The propeller is 75 inches in diameter.

The airplane may be equipped with a standard fuel system or either of two long range systems. Each system consists of two vented fuel tanks (one tank each wing), a four-position selector valve, fuel strainer, manual primer, and carburetor. The 68gallon long-range system utilizes integral tanks and the other two systems employ removable aluminium tanks.

intake manifold tubes. The manual primer draws its fue from the fuel strainer and injects it into the cylinder intake ports. Fuel system venting is essential to system operation. Blockage of the system will result in decreasing fuel flow and eventual engine stoppage. Venting is accomlished by an interconnecting line from the right fuel tank to the left fuel tank. The left fuel tank is vented overboard through a vent line, equipped with a check valve, which protrudes from the bottom surface of the left wing near the wing strut. The right fuel tank filler cap is also vented. When long range integral tanks are installed, the airplane may be serviced to a reduced capacity to permit heavier cabin loadings. This is accomplished by filling each tank to the bottom edge of the fuel filler collar, thus giving a reduced fuelload of 24 gallons in each tank. Fuel Quantity is measured by two float-type fuel quantity transmitters and indicated by two elictrically-operated fuel quantity

indicators on the left side of the instrument panel. An empty tank is indicated by a red line and the letter E. When an indicator shows an empty tank, approximately 1.5 gallons remain in a standard tank, and 2 gallons remain in a long range tank (3 gallons when long range integral tanks are installes) as unusable fuel. The indicators cannot be relied upon for accurate readings during skids, slips, or unusual attitudes. The fuel selector valve should be in BOTH position for takeoff, climb, landing and maneuvers that involve prolonged slips or skids. Operation from either LEFT or RIGHT tank is reserved for cruising flight. NOTE1: When the fuel selector valve handle is in the BOTH position in cruising flight, unequal fuel flow from each tank may occur if the
wings are not maintained exactly level. Resulting wing heaviness can be alleviated gradually by turning the selector valve handle to the tank in the heavy wing. NOTE2: When the fuel tanks are 1/4 full or less, prolonged uncoordinated flight such as slips or skids can cover the fuel tank outlets. Therefor, if operating with one fuel tank dry or if operating on LEFT or RIGHT tank when 1/4 full or less, do not allow the airplane to remain in uncoordinated flight for periods in excess of 30 seconds. NOTE3: It is not practical to measure the time required to consume all of the fuel in one tank, and, after switching to the opposite tank, expect an equal duration from the remaining fuel. The airspace
in both fuel tanks is interconnected by a vent line and, therefor, some sloshing of fuel between tanks can be expected when the tanks are nearly full and the wings are not level. The fuel system is equipped with drain valves to provide a means for the examination of fuel in the system foe contamination and grade. The system should be examined before the first flight of every day and after each refueling, by using the sampler cup provided to drain fuel from the wing tank sumps, and by utilizing the fuel strainer drain under an access door on the aft right side of the top engine cowling. If takeoff weight limitations for the next flight permit, the fuel tanks shoul be filled after each flight to prevent condensation.
BRA K E S YS TEM
The airplane has a singe -disc, hydraulically-actuated brake on ech main landing gear wheel. Each brake is connected, by a hydraulic line, to a master cylinder attached to each of the pilots rudder pedals. The brakes are operated by applying pressure to the top of either the left (pilots) or right (copilots) set of rudder pedals, which are interconnected. When the airplane is parked, both main wheel brakes may be set by utilizing the parking brake which is operated by a handle under the left side of the instrument panel. To apply the parking brake, set the brakes with the rudder pedals, pull the handle aft, and rotate it 90 down. For maximum brake life, keep the brake system properly maintained, and minimize brake usage during taxi operations and landings. Some of the symtoms of impending brake failure are: gradual decrease in braking action after brake application, noisy or dragging brakes, soft or spongy pedals, and excessive travel and weak braking action. If any of these symptoms appear, the brake system is in need of immediate attention. If, during taxi or landing roll, braking action decreases, let up on the pedals and then re-apply the brakes with heavy pressure. If the brakes become spongy or pedal travel increases, pumping the pedals should build braking pressure. If one brake becomes weak or fails, use the other brake sparingly while using opposite rudder, as required, to offset the good brake.
EL ECTRICA L S YS TEM
The airplane is equipped with a 28-volt, direct-current, electrical system. The system is powered by a belt-driven, 60-amp alternator and a 24-volt battery, located on the left forward side of the firewall. Power is supplied to most general electrical and all avionics circuits through the primary bus bar and the avionics bus bar, which is interconnected by an avionics power switch. The primary bus is on anytime the master switch is turned on, and is not affected by starter or external power usage. Both bus bars are on anytime the master and avionics power switches are turned on. CAUTION: Prior to turning the master switch on or off, starting the engine or applying an external power

source, the avionics power switch, labeled AVIONICS POWER, should be turned off to prevent any harmful transient voltage from damaging the avionics equipment.
MASTER SWITCH
The master switch is a split rocker-type switch labeled MASTER, and is ON in the up position. The right half of the switch labeled BAT controls all the electrical power to the airplane. The left half, labeled ALT controls the alternator. Normally, both sides of the master switch should be used simultaneously; however, the BAT side of the switch could be turned on seperately to check equipment while on the ground. To check or use avionics equipment or radios while on the ground, the avionics power switch must also be turned on. The ALT side of the switch, when placed in the OFF position, removes the alternator from the electrical system. While this switch in the OFF position, the entire electrical load is placed on the battery. Continued operation with the alternator switch in the OFF position will reduce battery power low enough to open the battery contactor, remove power from the alternator field, and prevent alternator restart.
move to OFF position. If this occurs, allow the circuit breaker to cool for about two minutes before placing the switch in the ON position again. If the circuit breaker opens again, do not reset it. The avionics power switch should be placed in the OFF position prior to turning the master switch ON or OFF, starting the engine, or applying an external power sourve, and may be utilized in place of the individual avionics equipment switches.
off and back on again. If the warning light does not illuminate again, a malfunction has occured, and the flight should be terminated as soon as practical.
AMMETER
The ammeter, located on the lower left side of the instrument panel, indicates the amount of current in amperes, from the alternator to the battery or from the battery to the airplane electrical system. When the engine is operating and the master switch is turned on, the ammeter indicates the charging rate applied to the battery. In the event the alternator is not functioning or the elctrical load exceeds the output of the alternator, the ammeter indicates the battery discharge rate.
Most of the elecrical circuits in the airplane are protected by push-to-reset type circuit breakers mounted on the left side of the switch and control panel. However, circuit breakers protecting the alternator output and the strobe light/avionics cooling fan circuits are the pulloff type. In addition to the individual circuit breakers, a toggle switch/circuit breaker, labeled AVIONICS POWER, on the left side of the switch and control panel, also protects the avionics system. The control wheel map light (if installed) is protected by the NAV LT circuit breaker and a fuse behind the instrument panel. Electrical circuits which are not protected by circuit breakers are the battery contactor closing (external power) circuit, clock circuit, and flight hour recorder circuit. These circuits are protected by fuses mounted adjacent to the battery.
Electrical power from the airplane primary bus to the avionics bus is controlled by a toggle switch/circuit braker labeled AVIONICS POWER. The switch is located on the left side of the switch and control panel and is ON in the up position. With the switch in the OFF position, no electrical power will be applied to the avionics equipment, regardless of the position of the master switch or the individual equipment switches. The avionics power switch also functions as a circuit breaker. If an electrical malfunction should occur and cause the circuit braker to open, electrical power to the avionics equipment will be interrupted and the switch will automatically

Conventional navigation lights are located on the wing tips and top of the rudder. A single landing light is located in the cowl nose cap. Dual landing/taxi lights are available and also located in the cowl nose cap. Additional lighting is available and includes a flashing beacon mounted on top of the vertical fin, a strobe light on each wing tip, and a courtesy light recessed into the lower surface of each wing slightly outboard of the cabin doors. The flashing beacon should not be used when flying through clouds or overcast; the flashing light reflected from the water droplets or particles in the atmosphere, particularly at night can produce vertigo and loss of orientation.

The airplane is equipped with a pneumatic-type stall warning system consisting of an inlet in the leading edge of the left wing and an air-operated horn near the upper left corner of the windshield. As the airplane approaches a stall, the low pressure on the upper surface of the wings moves forward around the leading edge of the wings. This low pressure creates a differential pressure in the stall warning system which draws air through the warning horn, resultig in an audible warning at 5 to 10 knots above stall.

An engine-driven vacuum system provides the suction necessary to operate the attitude indicator and directional indicator. The system consistes of a vacuum pump mounted on the engine, a vacuum relief valve and vacuum system airfilter on the left side of the firewall below the instrument panel, and instruments on the left side of the instrument panel. The attitude indicator gives a visual indication of flight attitude. Bank attitude is presented by a pointer at the top of the indicator relative to the bank scale which has index marks at 10, 20, 30, 60 and 90 either side of the center mark. Pitch and roll attitudes are presented by a miniature airplane superimposed over a symbolic horizon area divided into two sections by a white horizon bar.

AUTOPILOT
GENERAL INFORMATION
The installed autopilot is a singleaxis (aileron control) autopilot with an additional altitude hold and glide slope hold function. Roll and yaw motions of the airplane are sensed by the turn coordinator gyro. Deviation from the selected heading are sensed by the directional gyro. The computer-amplifier electronically computes the necessary correction and signals the actuator to move the ailerons to maintain the airplane in the commanded lateral attitude or heading. the heading selected via the bug on the directional indicator. NAV TRK By engaging this button the airplane will hold a radial selected on NAV1. It is possible to engage both HDG SEL and NAV TRK simultanously. HDG SEL is given priority until a VOR radial is intercepted, at which point the HDG SEL button will disengage and the aircraft will turn to and track the radial. This mode is generally unavailable if an active frequency is not selected. HI SENS By depressing this button the aircraft will track a localizer frontcourse and also the glide slope. BCK CRS This mode permits tracking of the back course localizer. generally unavailable if an active
frequency is not selected. CENTER BANK KNOB The center knob provides variable aileron control to execute a standard rate turn. In the default state, the knob is off (pushed in). Clicking on the center of the knob will pull it in the on position, engaging the wing leveler. With the knob pulled out moving it into the right position the aircraft will enter a standard rate turn to the right. Moving it into the left position the aircraft will enter a standard rate turn to the left. Re-centering the knob from either the left or right position will re-engage the wing leveler.
