Calibrated airspeed is equal to true airspeed in standard atmosphere at sea level. KCAS Calibrated Airspeed expressed in knots. Ground Speed is the speed of an airplane relative to the ground. IAS Indicated Airspeed is the speed of an airplane as shown on the airspeed indicator when corrected for instrument error. IAS values published in this handbook assume zero instrument error. KIAS Indicated Airspeed expressed in knots. True Airspeed is the airspeed of an airplane relative to undisturbed air which is the CAS corrected for altitude, temperature, and compressibility. Maneuvering Speed is the maximum speed at which application of full available aerodynamic control will not over stress the airplane. Maximum Flap Extended Speed is the highest speed permissible with wing flaps in a prescribed extended position. GLASAIR SUPER 11-S RG Maximum Landing Gear Extended Speed is the maximum speed at which an airplane can be safely flown with the landing gear extended. Maximum Landing Gear Operating Speed is the maximum speed at which the landing gear can be safely extended or retracted. Never Exceed Speed is the speed limit that may not be exceeded at any time. Maximum Structural Cruising Speed is the speed that should not be exceeded except in smooth air and then only with caution. Vno Stalling Speed or the minimum steady flight speed at which the airplane is controllable. Stalling Speed or the minimum steady flight speed at which the airplane is controllable in the landing configuration. Best Angle-of-Climb Speed is the airspeed which delivers the greatest gain of altitude in the shortest possible horizontal distance. Best Rate-of-Climb Speed is the airspeed which delivers the greatest gain in altitude in the shortest possible time. 1-16 GLASAIR SUPER 11-S RG 2-1 AIRSPEED LIMITATIONS..................................................... 2-3 2-2 AIRSPEED INDICATOR MARKINGS ................................... 2-4 2-3 POWER PLANT LIMITATIONS ............................................. 2-4 2-3.1 2-3.2 2-3.3 2-3.4 2-3.5 2-3.6 2-3.7 Oil Pressure .................................................................... 2-5 Tachometer ..................................................................... 2-6 2-4 VACUUM PRESSURE .......................................................... 2-7 2-5 WEIGHT LIMITS .................................................................... 2-7 2-6 CENTER OF GRAVITY LIMITS ............................................ 2-7 2-7 FLIGHT LOAD LIMIT FACTORS ........................................... 2-8 2-8 AEROBATIC MANEUVER LIMITATIONS ............................2-8 2-9 INTENTIONAL SPINS PROHIBITED ....................................2-11 2-1 GLASAIR SUPER 11-S RG 2-10 2-11 2-12 PRECAUTIONS CONCERNING SLIPS ............................... 2-13 2-13 REQUIRED EQUIPMENT ..................................................... 2-14 2-14 PLACARDS............................................................................ 2-14 2-14.1 Placards, Markings Required by FARs ...................... 2-14 2-14.2 Canopies..................................................................... 2-15 2-14.3 Airplane Exterior Placards .......................................... 2-15 2-14.4 Baggage Compartment Placards ............................... 2-15

When application is made for the unlimited duration airworthiness certificate (or at a later date), the builder can request that the operating limitations be amended to permit the logged maneuvers. In addition, the FAA inspector may request an actual flight demonstration of the maneuvers. The Glasair is not a competition class aerobatic aircraft. It was designed as a sport aerobatic type plane. Maneuvers capable in the Glasair aircraft are: Aileron rolls Point rolls Slow rolls Barrel rolls Vertical rolls Loops Hammerhead stalls Cuban eights 9. lmmelmanns 10. Reverse Cuban eights 11. Outside turns 12. Continuous rolls 13. Inverted flight 14. Half outside loops (from the bottom) 15. Cloverleaf LIMITATIONS GLASAIR SUPER 11-S RG GLASAIR SUPER 11-S RG 2-10 FLIGHT IN ICING CONDITIONS 2-11 FLIGHT IN THE VICINITY OF THUNDERSTORMS LIMITATIONS 2-12 PRECAUTIONS CONCERNING SLIPS If the aircraft is parked on sloping ground with one wing low and with a partially empty main fuel tank, fuel slowly transfers into the low wing creating a wing-heavy condition that can cause control difficulty after takeoff. Making tight turns while taxiing can have the same effect. A heavy left wing is especially critical since the resulting left-turning tendency exacerbates the effects of engine torque. If you suspect an unbalanced fuel condition, taxi to level ground and allow sufficient time for the main tank fuel level to equalize before attempting takeoff. Because of the total drag with both gear and flaps extended, slips should rarely be needed in the Glasair Super 11-S RG. GLASAIR SUPER 11-5 RG Builders of Experimental Category aircraft must comply with Part 91.33 of the Federal Aviation Regulations, which specifies the minimum instrumentation and equipment that must be installed and operational for various flight conditions. Equipment is specified for both VFR and IFR flight and for both day and night conditions. Placards and markings required for certification of an experimental amateur built aircraft are: 1. A permanently installed, fireproof identification plate that is permanently stamped or engraved with the information required by FAR 45.13. The data plate must be located on the exterior of the aircraft, either just aft of the entry door or on the fuselage near the tail surfaces and must be legible to a person standing on the ground. 2-14 2-14.2 Canopies 2-14.3 Airplane Exterior Placards 2-14.4 Baggage Compartment Placards 1. "NOT TO EXCEED 100 LB OF BAGGAGE" 2. "Keep all articles securely stowed to avoid the possibility of interference with the control system." 2-15 GLASAIR SUPER 11-5 RG WARNING: FIGURE (2-1) Install a placard in the aircraft to show that the small pointer on the fuel selector valve handle, not the handle itself, indicates the chosen fuel tank. This will help eliminate the possibility of a fuel starvation incident that could occur if a pilot who is not familiar with the airplane uses the handle as the pointer. A suggested placard is shown in FIGURE (2-1). Make sure that the fuel selector valve engages the detent for the desired tank. If the valve is positioned between detents, fuel will feed from the header tank. When the header tank is empty, the engine will pull air from the tank and quit from fuel starvation. Also, make sure that the fuel selector valve cannot inadvertently be bumped out of position during flight. 2-16
