Limitations
2.8 ACROBATIC MANEUVERS
2.8.1 NORMAL FLIGHT
All acrobatic maneuvers are prohibited except stall, chandelle, lazy eight and turns up to 60
degrees bank angle.
2.8.2 ACROBATIC FLIGHT
The plane is designed for unlimited acrobatics (wing tank must be empty). Inverted flight
maneuvers are limited to max 4 min.
The structure is designed for full aileron control input up to 185 KIAS (343 km/h) in combination
with 2/3 of the applicable max. load factor.
Recommended basic maneuver entry speeds are listed in the following list.
N O T E
If acrobatic maneuvers will be performed with co-pilot or passenger, the pilot has to
check and attend the physiological capability before and during acrobatic
maneuvers due to the high possible g-loads.
Check weight and C/G!
CAUTION
Particular caution must be exercised when performing maneuvers at speeds above
V
A
[154 KIAS (285 km/h)]. Large or abrupt rudder and elevator control inputs above this
speed as well as full aileron control inputs above 185 KIAS (343 km/h) may impose
unacceptably high loads which exceed the structural capability of the aircraft.
N O T E
For acrobatic maneuvers see Section 4. All maneuvers can be performed in upright and
inverted flight attitude.
