KIAS Knots Indicated Airspeed is the speed shown on the airspeed indicator and expressed in knots. KTAS Knots True Airspeed is the airspeed expressed in knots relative to undisturbed air which is KCAS corrected for altitude and temperature. VFE Maximum Flap Extended Speed is the highest speed permissible with wing flaps in a prescribed extended position. VNO Maximum Structural Cruising Speed is the speed that should not be exceeded except in smooth air, then only with caution. VNE Never Exceed Speed is the speed limit that may not be exceeded at any time. VS Stalling Speed. VS0 Stalling 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 VLO Lift off speed: is the speed at which the aircraft generally lifts off from the ground. Vobs Obstacle speed: is the speed at which the aircraft flies over a 15m obstacle during takeoff or landing FLIGHT MANUAL P92-JS S E C T I O N 1 GENERAL Date: Issue 3: 25th May2010 1-9 METEOROLOGICAL TERMINOLOGY OAT Outside Air Temperature is the free air static temperature expressed in degrees Celsius (°C). TS Standard Temperature is 15°C 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 1013 mb. ENGINE POWER TERMINOLOGY RPM Revolutions Per Minute: is the number of revolutions per minute of the propeller, multiplied by 2.4286 yields engine RPM. 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 liftoff point TOD is total takeoff distance measured from start to 15m obstacle clearing GR is the distance measured during landing from actual touchdown to stop point LD is the distance measured during landing, from 15m obstacle clearing 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 kilo of fuel used. FLIGHT MANUAL P92-JS S E C T I O N 1 GENERAL Date: Issue 3: 25th May 2010 1-10 WEIGHT AND BALANCE TERMINOLOGY 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. Standard Empty Weight Standard Empty Weight is the weight of a standard airplane, including unusable fuel, full operating fuels and full engine oil. Basic Empty Weight is the standard empty weight plus the weight of optional equipment. Useful Load is the difference between takeoff weight and the basic empty weight. Maximum Weight is the maximum certified weight of the aircraft. 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 deducted from the scale reading to obtain the actual (net) airplane weight.

Emergencies caused by a malfunction of the aircraft or engine are extremely rare if appropriate maintenance and pre-flight inspections are carried out. In case of emergency, suggestions of the present section should be considered and applied as necessary to correct the problem. Before operating the aircraft, the pilot should become thoroughly familiar with the present manual and, in particular, with the present section. Further, a continued and appropriate training should be provided.

Pre-landing checklist: complete 2. Landing approach as usual. 3. Touchdown with GOOD TIRE FIRST and hold aircraft off flat tire as long as possible. RECOVERY FROM UNINTENTIONAL SPIN Should an unintentional spin occur, the following recovery procedure should be used: 1. Adjust throttle to idle (full outward position) 2. Apply and hold full rudder opposite to the direction of spin. 3. Move and hold stick forward until spin is halted. 4. Neutralize rudder 5. Make a smooth recovery by pulling the stick back gently averting speeds in excess of V NE and maximum load factor. 6. Readjust throttle to restore engine power. FLIGHT MANUAL Date: Issue 3: 25th May 2010 3-7 P92-JS S E C T I O N 3 EMERGENCY PROCEDURES OTHER EMERGENCIES UNINTENTIONAL FLIGHT INTO ICING CONDITIONS 1. Get away from icing conditions by changing altitude or direction of flight in order to reach an area with warmer external temperature. 2. Avoid possible freeze-up of control surfaces by recurrently moving them. 3. Carb heat: ON 4. Increase RPMs to avoid ice formation on propeller blades. 5. Cabin heat: ON In case of ice formation on wing leading edge, stall speed may increase. CARBURETOR HEAT AT TAKEOFF At takeoff, given the unlikely possibility of ice formation at full throttle, carburetor heat is normally OFF. IN FLIGHT With external temperatures below 15° C, or on rainy days or with humid, cloudy, hazy or foggy conditions or whenever a power loss is detected, turn carb heat to ON until engine power is back to normal. ELECTRIC POWER SYSTEM MALFUNCTION Electric power supply system malfunctions may be avoided by carrying out inspections as scheduled and prescribed in the Service Manual. Causes for malfunctions are hard to establish but, in any case, problems of this nature must be dealt with immediately. The following may occur: GENERATOR LIGHT ILLUMINATES Generator light may illuminate for a faulty alternator or when voltage is above 16V, in this case the overvoltage sensor automatically shuts down the alternator. WARNING FLIGHT MANUAL Date: Issue 3: 25th May 2010 3-8 P92-JS S E C T I O N 3 EMERGENCY PROCEDURES In both cases proceed as follows: 1. Generator switch and master switch: OFF. 2. Generator switch and master switch: ON. If the problem no longer persists, normal alternator charging will resume and the warning light will turn off proving voltage surcharge was temporary; no further action is required. If light remains illuminated, a generator malfunction is confirmed. In this case, set Generator switch to OFF and continue flight on battery power alone; the battery is capable of supplying the electrical system for about 26 min. with normal flight loads including operation of: com/nav, flap and trim. TRIM SYSTEM FAILURE LOCKED CONTROL In case the trim control should not respond, act as follows: 1. Check switch for correct position 2. Adjust speed to control aircraft without excessive stick force 3. Land aircraft as soon as possible. RUNAWAY If trim position indicator reads displacement without pilot's action on trim control, follow procedure below: 1. Trim power switch OFF 2. Adjust speed to control aircraft without excessive stick force 3. Land aircraft as soon as possible.

Unlatch all four butterfly Cam-locks mounted on the cowling by rotating them 90° counterclockwise while slightly pushing inwards. V. Remove engine cowling paying attention to propeller shaft passing through nose. VI. To assemble: rest cowling horizontal insuring proper fitting of nose base reference pins. VII. Secure latches by applying light pressure, check for proper assembly and fasten Cam-locks. Butterfly Cam-locks are locked when tabs are horizontal and open when tabs are vertical. Verify tab is below latch upon closing. LOWER COWLING I. After disassembling upper cowling, bring propeller to horizontal position. II. Using a standard screwdriver, press and rotate 90° the two Cam-locks positioned on lower cowling by the firewall. III. Pull out the first hinge pin positioned on the side of the firewall, then, while holding cowling, pull out second hinge pin; remove cowling with downward motion. IV. For installation follow reverse procedure. WARNING FLIGHT MANUAL Date: Issue 3: 25th May 2010 4-3 P92-JS S E C T I O N 4 NORMAL PROCEDURES PRE-FLIGHT INSPECTIONS Before each flight, it is necessary to carry out a complete inspection of the aircraft starting with an external inspection followed by an internal inspection as hereby detailed.
