Otherwise, adequate battery charging cannot be guaranteed. WARNING The charging of the battery is of great importance to the prevention of the risk of engine failure, since the engine has no mechanical fuel pump. Limitations for soaring when using a battery with a capacity of 1 8 Ah: The capacity of the lead-accumulator is highly dependent on the temperature. Therefore, the duration of continuous soaring at low temperatures is restricted to: 4 hours at 00 C (320 F), 2 hours at _ 1 00 C (140 F).

Since it is impossible to foresee all kinds of emergencies and consider them in the Flight Manual, it is absolutely necessary for the Pilot to know the airplane and to have knowledge and experience in solving problems that may occur. It will only be possible to handle emergency situations safely if the emergency procedures have been practiced. Emergency procedures relating to optional equipment are given in the corresponding supplements to the Manual. Any problems which occur must be recorded, along with their remedy, in compliance with the applicable national regulations. 3.2 CANOPY JETTISON 1 .

A partial loss of positive control in the stick and pedals, buffeting, and a pitch angle of 20° to 30° occur during this condition. NOTE During the horizontal stall, the lAS rises to approximately 85 km/h (46 kts. I 53 mph). 3.4.2 BEHAVIOR WITH POWER ON See behavior with power off. At 50 % to 1 00 % power, straight and level flight, and ma«imum rearward center of gravity, the airplane may perform a stall dive over the left or right wing after entering the horizontal stall if the control stick is pulled even further. NOTE During a horizontal stall, the airspeed indicator readings fluctuate and are too high. 3.4.3 RECOVERY The horizontal stall can be terminated immediately by relaxing the force on the elevator control. Doc. No. 3.01 .20-E NOTE If the airplane performs a stall dive, immediately relax the force on the elevator control and pull out the airplane smoothly. If the stick is pulled further, the airplane may start to spin. * Altitude loss resulting from stationary horizontal stall described above: approximately 1 0 - 20 m (33 - 65 ft.). * Altitude loss resulting from stall dive over a wing: approximately 40 m (130 ft.).

WARNING The main fuel pump is supplied with power by the generator. A generator failure will lead to the failure of the main fuel pump, causing the waming light to come on. Therefore, the illumination of the fuel pressure warning light can be an indication of generator failure. In this case, the on board network, including the fuel booster pump, is supplied with power only from the battery. All electrical consumers which are not essential to flight operation must be switched OFF. The load on the battery must be monitored by means of the ammeter which should not be too far in the negative range. The current requirement with all switchable consumers switched OFF is approximately 6 A. With a charged , well maintained battery, the fuel booster pump will be supplied with power for another 30 minutes. If light does not extinguish The required fuel flow cannot be maintained, or the fuel pressure switch is defective. However, an engine failure is possible at any time.

Normal procedures associated with optional systems can be found in Section 9. The refilling of operating fluids must be recorded in compliance with national regulations. 4.2 RIGGING AND DE-RIGGING 4.2.1 GENERAL Each wing is connected to the fuselage by three bolts. The two main bolts are located at the center of the spar tunnel. They are accessible between the backrests and can be inserted from the front side. A spring loaded hook is placed over the bolt handles to secure the bolts. The A- and B-bolts are fixed to the fuselage at the wing root. The A-bolt is placed in front of the spar tunnel and the B-bolt lies near the trailing edge. Self locking units are screwed onto the B-bolts, which are accessible through handholes on the upper surface of the wing. Locking rings are integrated in the B-bolt locking units, which therefore do not require any further safetying. The horizontal stabilizer is attached to the vertical stabilizer by means of three bolts. The two bolts at the rear are fIXed to the mount in the vertical stabilizer. The threaded bolt located at the front is fitted with a hexagonal socket. When screwed in, it is automatically secured by means of a locking ring integrated into the horizontal stabilizer. Doc.

Clean all bolts and bushes and the B-bolt locking unit and apply a light coat of grease. 2. Lift one wing (two persons at the root rib, one at the wing tip) and insert spar stump into spar tunnel. Ensure the smooth insertion of the A- and B-bolts. Connect position and strobe lights (optional) when the gap between fuselage and wing is just wide enough to reach the wires. 3 . Insert main bolt while moving the wing tip in small circles. The aileron and air brake control systems are automatically connected. Do not release the wing before the main bolt has been completely inserted. The wide track of the landing gear allows the attached wing to support itself; no outside support is required. 4. Screw the B-bolt locking unit onto the B-bolt and tighten it by hand. 5. Install the other wing in a similar manner. 6. Tighten both B-bolt locking units with a wrench (size 17 mm), applying moderate hand torque (approximately 6 Nm (4.5 ft.lbs.». 7. Secure main bolts with spring loaded hook. 8.

Clean all bolts, bushes and the 8-bolt locking unit and apply a light coat of grease, remove lid over 8-bolt hand hole. 2 . Unhook one wing from its hanging mount and pull i t rearward to the stop. A second person should stand between the wing and fuselage and relieve the load on the telescopic tube by lifting the wing at the spar stump. 3. Walk forward until the wing is 900 from line of flight; rotate the wing until the root ribs are parallel; keep wing in its correct position. 4. I ntroduce spar stump into spar tunnel while ensuring the smooth insertion of A- and 8-bolts. Connect position and strobe lights (optional) when the gap between the fuselage and wing is just wide enough to reach the wires. 5. Insert main bolt.

Diamondv AIRCRAFT Sideslips H K 36 TTC AIRPLANE FLIGHT MANUAL Normal Procedures The speed range in which sideslips can be performed depends on the strength of the Pilot, since significant rudder control forces are required at higher airspeeds. Usually, the upper limit is approximately 1 50 kmlh (81 kts. 1 93 mph). A control force reversal can occur when the rudder is fully deflected and the ailerons are deflected opposite to the rudder. To recover, either release the aile'ron control or apply approximately 30 N (7 Ibs.) to the rudder pedal to overcome the control force reversal. 4.5.4 APPROACH 1 .
