  • ALTERNATE FLAP DUTY CYCLE:
    • extending or retracting flaps with the ALT flaps position switch, allow 15 seconds after releasing switch before moving switch again (avoids damage to alt flap motor clutch)
    • After completing a full extend/retract cycle (0-15-0) allow 5 minutes cooling before attempting another extension.

SPEED BRAKES.

  • # In​ flight,​ do​ not​ extend​ the SPEED BRAKE​ lever​ beyond​ the ​FLIGHT​ DETENT.
  • #​ Do not deploy​ speedbrakes​ in flight at flap settings greater than Flaps ​10.​
  • # Do​ not​ deploy​ the speedbrakes in​ flight​ at​ radio​ altitudes​ less​ than​ ​1,000​ feet.​

​

FLIGHT CONTROLS.

  • # Avoid rapid and large alternating control inputs, especially in​ ​combination​ with​ large​ changes​ in​ pitch,​ roll,​ or​ yaw (e.g.,​ large​ side​ ​slip angles)​ as​ they may result in structural failure at any speed,​ ​including​ below​ VA.
