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.

GENERAL
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.

EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
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.
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

PERFORMANCE
CONSEQUENCES FROM RAIN AND INSECT
Flight tests have demonstrated that neither rain nor insect impact build-up on leading edge have caused substantial variations to aircraft's flight qualities. Such variations fall within JAR-VLA tolerance limits as they are not above: 5 Kts for stalls, 100 ft/min for climb rates and 50 m for takeoff runs.
NOISE DATA
Noise level was determined according to JAR-36 Sub.C Ed.23 May 1997 ICAO/Annex 16 Chap.10 Issue 1993, and results are shown in the following table:

INTRODUCTION
This section describes the procedure for establishing the basic empty weight and moment of the aircraft. Loading procedure information is also provided.
AIRCRAFT WEIGHING PROCEDURES
PREPARATION
a. Carry out weighing procedure inside closed hangar b. Remove from cabin any objects left unintentionally a. Insure on board presence of:
Flight manual, airnavigation certificate, navigation charts etc.
d. Align nose wheel e. Drain fuel via specific drain valve. f. Oil, hydraulic fluid and coolant to operating levels g. Move sliding seats to most forward position h. Raise flaps to fully retracted position (0°) i. Place control surfaces in neutral position j. Place scales (min. capacity 150 kg) under each wheel
LEVELING
a. Level the aircraft using the cabin floor as datum b. Center bubble on level by deflating nose tire
WEIGHING
a. Record weight shown on each scale b. Repeat weighing procedure three times c. Calculate empty weight
DETERMINATION OF C.G. LOCATION
a. Drop a plumb bob tangent to the leading edge (in non-tapered area of one
half-wing, approximately one meter from wing root) and trace reference mark on the floor.
b. Repeat operation for other half-wing. c. Stretch a taught line between the two marks d. Measure the distance between the reference line and main wheel axis e. Using recorded data it is possible to determine the aircraft's C.G. location
and moment (see following table)

WEIGHT AND BALANCE
To determine the aircraft's CG location and to verify that the CG falls within the predetermined CG travel range, it is necessary to use the chart in the following page. Chart reports CG location as a function of the empty weight moment with respect to the datum as yielded by weighing report.
USE OF WEIGHT & BALANCE CHART (page 6-6)
In order to use the graph it is necessary to know the value of the moment arm with respect to the datum. Once this value is found on the abscissa, a parallel to the oblique lines is drawn until it intersects the ordinate relative to the weight of pilot and passenger. From this point, a new line is drawn horizontally up to limit value of 180 kg and, from here, a parallel to the oblique lines is drawn until it intersects with the abscissa relative to fuel weight carried on board. A horizontal line is then drawn through this point up to limit value of 70 liters and a new parallel to the oblique lines is drawn until abscissa is intercepted relative to baggage loaded on board behind the seats. Another horizontal line is drawn and it is thus possible to verify that the intersection of this segment with the vertical abscissa relative to the aircraft's takeoff total weight falls within the shaded area which represents the admissible CG range as a function of total weight.
Pages 6 and 7 show charts of CG travel as a function of aircraft weight, distances in meters of pilots and baggage from datum (propeller support flange) is also provided.
EXAMPLE (see page 6-6)
Empty weight moment = 562 kg m Pilot and passenger = 160 kg Fuel = 50 Lit Baggage = 15 kg Takeoff weight = 536 kg

AIRFRAME
WING
The wing is constructed of a central light alloy torque box; an aluminum leading edge with integrated fuel tank is attached to the front spar while flap and aileron are hinged to rear spar. Flaps are constructed of a center spar to which front and rear ribs are joined; wrap-around aluminum skin panels cover the flap structure. The aileron is constructed of an aluminum spar to which a formed sheet metal leading edge and metal ribs are attached; a wrap-around. thermosetting synthetic material covers aileron structure.

SYSTEMS
FUSELAGE
The front part of the fuselage is made up of a mixed structure: a truss structure with special steel members for cabin survival cell, and a light-alloy semi­monocoque structure for the cabin's bottom section. The aft part of the fuselage is constructed of an aluminum alloy semi-monocoque structure. The engine housing is isolated from the cabin by a stainless steel firewall; the steel stringers engine mount is attached to the cabin's truss structure in four points.
EMPENNAGES
The vertical tail is entirely metal: the vertical stabilizer is made up of a twin spar with stressed skin while the rudder consists of an aluminum torque stringer connected to light alloy ribs and skin. The horizontal tail is an all-moving type (stabilator); its structure consists of an aluminum tubular spar connected to ribs and leading edge; wrap-around thermoretractible synthetic material covers the stabilator structure.
FLIGHT CONTROLS
Aircraft flight controls are operated through conventional stick and rudder pedals. Longitudinal control acts through a system of push-rods and is equipped with a trim tab. Aileron control is of mixed type with push-rods and cables; the cable control circuit is confined within the cabin and is connected to a pair of push-rods positioned in the wings that control ailerons differentially. Aileron trimming is carried out on ground through a small tab positioned on left aileron. Flaps are extended via an electric servo actuator controlled by a switch on the instrument panel. Flaps act in continuous mode, the indicator displays the two positions relative to takeoff (15°) and landing (38°). A breaker positioned on the right side of the instrument panel protects the electric circuit. Longitudinal trim is performed by a small tab positioned on the stabilator and controlled via an electric servo by pushing an Up/Down push-button on the control stick. A shunt switch placed on the instrument panel enables control of either left or right stick; in addition, a safety switch positioned by the trim indicator shuts off power from the circuit in case of emergency (see section 3).

GROUND HANDLING & SERVICE
INTRODUCTION
This section contains factory-recommended procedures for proper ground handling and routine care and servicing. It also identifies certain inspection and maintenance requirements, which must be followed if the aircraft is to retain its new-plane performance and dependability. It is recommended to follow a planned schedule of lubrication and preventive maintenance based on climatic and flying conditions encountered locally.
AIRCRAFT INSPECTION PERIODS
Inspection intervals occur at 100 hours and in accordance with special inspection schedules which are added to regularly scheduled inspections. Correct maintenance
procedures are described in the aircraft’s Service Manual or in the engine’s Service
Manual.
AIRCRAFT ALTERATIONS OR REPAIRS
It is essential that the responsible Airworthiness Authority be contacted prior to any alterations on the aircraft to ensure that airworthiness of the aircraft is not violated. For repairs, refer to aircraft’s Service Manual.
GROUND HANDLING
TOWING
The aircraft is most easily and safely maneuvered by hand by pushing on wing struts near attachments or by pulling it by its propeller near the axle. A tow bar can be fixed onto nose gear fork. Aircraft may be steered by turning rudder or, for steep turns, by pushing lightly on tailcone to lift nose wheel.
PARKING AND TIE-DOWN
When parking airplane outdoors, head it into the wind and set the parking brake. If chocks or wedges are available it is preferable to use the latter. In severe weather and high wind conditions it is wise to tie the airplane down. Tie­down ropes shall be fastened to the wing strut attachments and anchoring shall be provided by ramp tie-downs. Nose gear fork can be used for front tie-down location.
FLIGHT MANUAL
8-3
P92-JS
S E C T I O N 8
GROUND HANDLING & SERVICE
Flight controls shall be secured to avoid possible weathervaning damage to moving surfaces. For this purpose, seatbelts may be used to latch control stick to prevent its movement.
JACKING
Given the light empty weight of the aircraft, lifting one of the main wheels can easily be accomplished even without the use of hydraulic jacks. Remove the aluminum panel located between the steel springs and, while one person lifts one half-wing by acting on the spar immediately before the wingtip, another person will place a suitable stand with protective cover under the steel spring attachment.
LEVELING
Aircraft leveling may become necessary to check wing incidence, dihedral or the exact location of CG. Leveling is obtained when the cabin floor and, in transverse direction, the main gear support beam are horizontal.
ROAD TRANSPORT
It is recommended to secure tightly all aircraft components onto the cart to avoid damage during transport. Minimum cart size is 7x2.5 meters. It is suggested to place
wings under the aircraft’s bottom, secured by specific clamps. Secondary
components such as stabilator and struts shall be protected from accidental hits using plastic or other material. For correct rigging and de-rigging procedure, refer to Service Manual.
CLEANING AND CARE
To clean painted surfaces, use a mild detergent such as shampoo normally used
for car finish; use a soft cloth for drying
The plastic windshield and windows should never be dusted when dry; use lukewarm soapy water and dry using chamois only. It is possible to use special glass detergents but, in any case, never use products such as gasoline, alcohol, acetone or other solvents. To clean cabin interior, seats, upholstery and carpet, it is generally recommended to use foam-type detergents.
