 Begin applying back pressure
 Add 100 to 200 rpm

 Begin roll out
 Relax back pressure
Passing through 30°
Reduce power to 2100 RPM
Maintain a constant altitude, airspeed, and roll out on the assigned heading.
AACES or HASSEL Check-list
Apply carburetor heat on and set power to 1500 RPM.
Slow to 75 MPH IAS
Turn carburetor heat off.
Obtain Stall Buffet or Stall
 Increase pitch to slightly higher than climb attitude
 Increasing to full power
 Hold this attitude by increasing elevator back pressure
To recover, relax the back pressure to decrease the pitch to a climb attitude
while accelerating to climb airspeed.
Wing Drop during the manoeuvre is caused by lack of rudder coordination.
To pick up the wing Do Not Use aileron…Use the rudder to pull the wing up.
SLOW FLIGHT
AACES or HASSEL Check-list
Throttle
1500 RPM with Carb Heat
Increase pitch attitude to maintain altitude
 Decelerate to 58 MPH IAS.
Add flaps as desired
Increase power and adjust pitch to maintain altitude and airspeed.
Maintain
 Airspeed with pitch control
 Altitude with power
 Constant heading with an emphases on rudder control.
To recover
 Apply full power
 Carburetor heat off
 Lower the nose
 Flaps up in increments while accelerating to cruise.
SPIN RECOVERY
(INTENTIONAL SPINS PROHIBITED)
Power to Idle (Carb Heat On).
Ailerons NEUTRAL – use will aggravate the spin
Apply full rudder opposite spin direction.
After rudder hits stop: nose sharply forward.
Pull out of the ensuing dive.
Add full power when safe to do so.
Stalls can occur at
ANY airspeed at
ANY attitude at
ANY altitude!

C-GHUU’s 2,300 lbs Gross Wt. C of G Limits must be between 87 and 109
Therefore:
4 large adults and full fuel will significantly move the C of G out of range.
Applicable to C-GHUU only.
1. Licensed Empty Weight includes full oil and unusable fuel.
2. Fuel weighed at 6 lbs per US gallon. This is appropriate for STANDARD
temperature (15 deg C.). The difference in weight of a gallon of fuel
in varying temperatures is negligible.
3. GHUU does have long range tanks - 48 gallons useable.
4. Pilot and passenger arm shown above is for AVERAGE seat positioning.
5. The MAXIMUM baggage allowable for Area 2 is 50 lbs. The MAXIMUM
combined total baggage allowable for Area 1 and Area 2 is 120 lbs.
Formula:
Weight x Arm = Moment - therefore
Moment / Arm = Weight - therefore
Moment / Weight = Arm

Passenger Brief

If somebody yells "Clear!" it means an engine will be starting. Be
wary of propellers.

The seatbelts are used the same as in a car. You must have your
seatbelt on while taxiing and during takeoff and landing. It is
recommended that you wear the seatbelt at all times throughout the flight.

No smoking or alcohol consumption.

Keep the door closed until I tell you it's OK to open it.

Don't touch any controls without being invited to do so. This includes
knobs, buttons, yoke, pedals, and push-to-talk button.

In the unlikely event your seat should slip back as we take off, please
DO NOT grab the yoke to drag it back.

Airsickness bags are available if you need them. If you start to feel
queasy tell me immediately. Look outside the plane and open the vent to
blow air toward your face.

Use the restroom before getting in the plane. The airsickness bags
can be used in real emergency situations.

If you see any airplanes once we are airborne please let me know.
Don't assume that I have seen the plane. An extra pair of eyes always
helps.

In the extremely unlikely event that we are forced to land anywhere
other than an airport, I will tell you to open the door just a crack when we
are 50 feet from the ground. The reason is that the forced landing may
bend the aircraft and make opening the door impossible. So you will open
the door before we touch down.

The ELT (Emergency Locater Transmitter) is located in the baggage
compartment. If we should have to do a forced landing, we will activate
the ELT. If I am incapacitated in any way, you can ensure the ELT is
activated by merely turning it ON. This activates the SAR forces. There is
a medical and survival kit in the rear baggage compartment as well.

We have an intercom so that we can talk to each other through our
headsets. When I push this button here, and I'm talking to the tower or to
other airplanes, anything you say will be broadcast, too. (except in GLDV)

If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask now or during the
flight. The only time I can NOT talk with you is during takeoff and landing.
V Speeds Defined
V1
decision speed, up to which it should be possible to abort a take-off and stop safely
within the remaining runway length. After reaching V1 the take-off must be continued.
Va
design manoeuvring speed. The speed below which abrupt and extreme control
movements are possible without exceeding the airframe's limiting load factors.
Vfe
max flap extension speed (top of white arc on ASI).
Vne
never-exceed speed, `redline speed' denoted by a red radial on an ASI.
Vmo
maximum operating speed. Also mmo, Mach limit maximum operating speed.
Vno
normal operating speed. The maximum structural cruising speed allowable for normal
operating conditions (top of green arc on ASI).
Vso
stalling speed at MTWA, in landing configuration with flaps and landing gear down, at
sea level, ISA conditions (bottom of white arc on ASI).
Vx
best angle of climb speed on all engines.
Vy
best rate of climb speed on all engines.
