valuable information. The loading instructions in the Weight and Balance sections, however, are accepted by CAAI. (See FOREWORD, Section VI.) The AFM in the aircraft at the time of delivery contains information applicable only to that particular aircraft. This issue of AFM is intended for use on aircraft which have installed the MOD G25-10032 or the associated Service Bulletin 280-31-106 complied with for the incorporation of the Avionics Suite 3.6. This issue of AFM is intended for use on aircraft which do not have installed the MOD G25-10044 or the associated Service Bulletin 280-76-128 "ECU Hardware and FADEC Software Update V2G". If the aircraft is not compliant to the above revert to previous issue of the Airplane Flight Manual. Every effort is made to keep the manual current through a periodic revision service. Continual research, review conference with operating personnel, and a constant review of operations and flight test data, ensure inclusion of the latest data in the manual. It is the responsibility of the owner/operator to ensure that this AFM is current. (Continued) 16 Dec 2020 CAAI APPROVED Intro-vi BACK TOC Main BACK TOC Main REVISIONS This AFM must be maintained in accordance with the Log of Effective Pages, herein. As new data and procedures are developed and approved (requiring changes, additions or deletions), appropriate, periodic revisions will be issued to all registered owners. Each revision will include a Revision Notice, describing the action to be taken, and a new Log of Effective Pages, listing all current pages. A black, vertical, revision bar, in the outer margin of a page, indicates adjacent text has been changed, added or deleted. A pointing finger ( ) - when used in conjunction with a revision bar - highlights the changed area of a page. When used adjacent to the page number, it indicates a new or extensively revised page; in this case, revision bars will not appear on page. SUPPLEMENTS A supplement need not be retained in the AFM unless it pertains to specified equipment installed and applicable to the aircraft or operation necessary for mission. ) 15 Apr 2015 CAAI APPROVED Intro-vii BACK TOC Main DEFINITIONS NOTES, CAUTIONS and WARNINGS, used throughout this manual, are intended to emphasize specific procedures, instructions or information in general accord with the following: NOTE : An operating procedure, technique, etc., which is considered important to emphasize. : An operating procedure, technique, etc., relative to safety matters of a secondary order or not immediately imminent which may result in damage to equipment if not carefully followed. : An operating procedure, technique, etc., relative to safety matters of a primary order or immediately imminent which may result in personal injury or loss of life if not carefully followed. 15 Apr 2015 CAAI APPROVED Intro-viii BACK TOC Main BACK TOC Main LIMITATIONS A system, component, structural or procedural limit that must be adhered to. EMERGENCY PROCEDURES An emergency procedure is one requiring the use of special systems and/or regular systems in order to protect the occupants and the aircraft from serious or critical harm. These procedures usually require immediate and precise action. ABNORMAL PROCEDURES An abnormal procedure is one requiring the use of special systems and/or the alternate use of regular systems, the use of which may be expected to maintain an acceptable level of airworthiness or reduce operational risk resulting from a failure condition. NORMAL PROCEDURES A normal procedure involves routine operations of a day-to-day nature. It is also concerned with peculiarities of the aircraft's design and operating features encountered in connection with routine operations, including malfunction cases not considered to be an emergency or abnormal condition (i.e., not considered to degrade or affect safety). (Continued) 15 Apr 2015 CAAI APPROVED Intro-ix BACK TOC Main NOTE The operating procedures contained in this manual have been developed with specific regard for the design features and operating characteristics of this aircraft and have been approved by the CAAI for guidance in identifying acceptable procedures for safe operation. Observance of these procedures is not intended to prohibit or discourage development and use of improved or equivalent alternate procedures based on operational experience with the aircraft. When alternate procedures are used, full responsibility for compliance with applicable airworthiness safety standards rests with the operator. 15 Apr 2015 CAAI APPROVED Intro-x BACK TOC Main BACK TOC Main THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK 15 Apr 2015 CAAI APPROVED Intro-xi BACK TOC Main SUPPLEMENTS COMPATIBILITY The following table provides a comprehensive cross-reference of supplements and does not imply that supplements listed are approved by every authority and are applicable to every operator.
