Can you / should you reset the alternator isolation circuit breaker if it is tripped?
NO
Why must balanced flight be maintained above 170 KIAS?
Due to the possibility of the canopy frame lifting (up to 7mm) because of aerodynamic loads.
What are the Minimum Safe Heights for:
- Over congested areas
- Elsewhere
- 1000ft above the highest obstacle within a radius of 600m of the aircraft.
- 500ft above obstacles or water.
What is the max duration of any one application of Negative G?
