ED Decision 2003/13/RM

Information concerning normal and emergency procedures and other pertinent information necessary for safe operation must be furnished, including:

(a)     The stall speed in the various configurations.

(b)     Any loss of altitude more than 30 m or any pitch attitude more than 30° below the horizon occurring during the recovery part of the manoeuvre prescribed in CS 22.201.

(c)      Any loss of altitude of more than 30 m occurring in the recovery part of the manoeuvre prescribed in CS 22.203.

(d)     Spinning characteristics, including loss of altitude, any tendency for the spin to turn into a spiral dive, and recommended recovery procedure.

(e)     Recommended operational speeds and entry speeds for each authorised manoeuvre.

(f)      Slip characteristics in landing configuration, with airbrakes extended.

(g)     any special procedures or advice to the pilot that may be necessary for aerotowing, wire or bungee launching

(h)     The take-off distances in the conditions of CS 22.51, unless classified as a SelfSustaining Powered Sailplane, in which case there must be a statement in limitations section of the Flight Manual that the sailplane is not approved for take-off by sole means of its own power. In addition the statement must make clear which configurations are approved for launching.

(i)      Special procedures to start the engine in flight, if necessary. The maximum demonstrated engine start density altitude, after a prolonged in flight shutdown, and the normal height loss to be expected during extension/unfeathering restart, and the achievement of minimum climb power, must be stated.

(j)      For Self-Sustaining Powered Sailplanes, the maximum altitude that can be sustained.

(k)     Information on the total quantity of usable fuel.

(l)      Special preflight procedures to ensure safe operation of engine and accessories, if necessary.

(m)    Advice to the pilot for correct adjustment and positioning of an adjustable headrest, if installed.

(n)     Information on the use of water ballast.
