Knots Indicated Airspeed is the speed shown on the airspeed indicator and is expressed in knots. Knots True Airspeed is the airspeed relative to undisturbed air which is KCAS corrected for altitude and temperature and is expressed in knots. Maximum Operating Maneuvering Speed is the maximum speed at which full or abrupt control movements may be used at a particular weight. Maximum Flap Extended Speed is the highest speed permissible with wing flaps extended. Maximum Structural Cruising Speed is the speed that should not be exceeded except in smooth air, then only with caution. Never Exceed Speed is the speed which should never be exceeded during flight operations. 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 at the most forward center of gravity. Best Angle of Climb Speed is the speed which results in the greatest gain of altitude in a given horizontal distance. Best Rate of Climb Speed is the speed which results in the greatest gain of altitude in a given time. METEOROLOGICAL TERMINOLOGY OAT Outside Air Temperature is the free air static temperature and is expressed in either degrees Celsius or degrees Fahrenheit. Standard Standard Temperature is 15 C as sea level pressure altitude and Temperature decreases by 2 C for each 1000 feet of altitude. Pressure Altitude ISA Pressure Altitude is the altitude read from an altimeter with its barometric scale set to 29.92 inches of mercury (1013.2 mb). International Standard Atmosphere is the atmosphere in which: 1. The air is a perfect dry gas. 2. The temperature at sea level is 15 C. 3. The pressure at sea level is 29.92 inches Hg (1013.2 mb). APR 14 2014 IR Page 13 of 81
AMPHIBIAN AIRPLANE FLIGHT MANUAL SUPPLEMENT SECTION 1 4. The temperature gradient from sea level is -1.98 C per 1000 feet of altitude. ENGINE POWER TERMINOLOGY BHP RPM Static RPM MP Brake Horsepower is the power developed by the engine. Revolutions Per Minute is engine speed. Static RPM is engine speed attained during a full throttle engine runup when the airplane is on the ground and stationary. Manifold Pressure is a pressure measured in the engine s induction system and is expressed in inches of mercury (in Hg). AIRPLANE PERFORMANCE AND FLIGHT PLANNING TERMINOLOGY Demonstrated Crosswind Velocity g NMPG GPH Unusable Fuel Usable Fuel Demonstrated Crosswind Velocity is the velocity of the crosswind component for which adequate control of the airplane during takeoff, landing & taxi was demonstrated during certification tests. The value shown is not considered to be limiting. g is the acceleration due to gravity. Nautical Miles Per Gallon is the distance which can be expected per gallon of fuel consumed at a specific engine power setting and/or flight configuration. Gallons Per Hour is the amount of fuel consumed per hour. Unusable Fuel is the quantity of fuel that cannot be safely used in flight. Usable Fuel is the fuel available for flight planning. WEIGHT AND BALANCE TERMINOLOGY Arm Arm is the horizontal distance from the reference datum to the center of gravity (C.G.) of an item. Basic Empty Basic Empty Weight is the standard empty weight plus the weight of Weight optional equipment. Center of Gravity (C.G.) C.G. Arm Center of Gravity is the point at which an airplane would balance if suspended. Its distance from the reference datum is found by dividing the total moment by the total weight. C.G. Arm is the arm obtained by adding the airplane s individual moments and dividing the sum by the total weight. Page 14 of 81 IR APR 14 2014
AIRPLANE FLIGHT MANUAL SUPPLEMENT SECTION 1 AMPHIBIAN C.G. Limits MAC Maximum Landing Weight Maximum Takeoff Weight Moment Reference Datum Standard Empty Weight Station Tare Useful Load C.G. Limits are the extreme center of gravity locations within which the airplane must be operated at any given weight. MAC (Mean Aerodynamic Chord) of a wing is the chord of an imaginary rectangular airfoil having the same pitching moments throughout the flight range as that of the actual wing. Maximum Landing Weight is the maximum weight approved for the landing touchdown. Maximum Takeoff Weight is the maximum weight approved for the start of the takeoff roll. Moment is the product of the weight of an item multiplied by its arm. (Moment divided by 1000 is used in this supplement to simplify balance calculations by reducing the number of digits.) Reference Datum is an imaginary vertical plane at the front face of the firewall from which all horizontal distances are measured for balance purposes. Standard Empty Weight is the weight of a standard airplane, including unusable fuel, full operating fluids and full engine oil. Station is a location along the fuselage given in terms of distance from the reference datum. Also referred to as Fuselage Station (FS). Tare is the weight of chocks, blocks, stands, balance weights, etc. used when weighing an airplane and is included in the scale readings. Tare is deducted from the scale reading to obtain the actual (net) airplane weight. Useful Load is the difference between ramp weight and the basic empty weight.

AIRPLANE FLIGHT MANUAL SUPPLEMENT SECTION 3 ICING AMPHIBIAN INADVERTENT ICING ENCOUNTER 1. Turn pitot heat switch ON. 2. Turn back or change altitude to obtain an outside air temperature that is less conductive to icing. 3. Pull cabin heat control full out and rotate defroster control clockwise to obtain maximum defroster airflow. 4. Increase engine speed to minimize ice build-up on propeller blades. 5. Watch for signs of induction air filter icing and use alternate air as required. An unexplained loss of manifold pressure could be caused by ice blocking the air intake filter. Lean the mixture if alternate air is used continuously. 6. Plan a landing at the nearest airport. With an extremely rapid ice build-up, select a suitable off airport landing site. 7. With an ice accumulation of ¼ inch or more on the wing leading edges, be prepared for significantly higher stall speed. 8. Leave wing flaps retracted. With a severe ice build-up on the horizontal tail, the change in wing wake airflow direction caused by wing flap extension could result in a loss of elevator effectiveness. 9. Open left window and, if practical, scrape ice from a portion of the windshield for visibility in the landing approach. 10. Perform a landing approach using a forward slip, if necessary, for improved visibility. 11. Approach at 85 to 95 KIAS depending upon the amount of the accumulation. 12. Perform a landing in level attitude. APR 14 2014 IR Page 33 of 81

AIRPLANE FLIGHT MANUAL SUPPLEMENT SECTION 3 AMPLIFIED EMERGENCY PROCEDURES AMPHIBIAN The Emergency Checklists section contains both checklists copied from the original landplane handbook, the engine flight manual supplement, and checklists unique to the floatplane. The following Amplified Emergency Procedures elaborate upon the floatplane information contained in the Emergency Checklists portion of this section. See the Amplified Emergency Procedures section of the landplane handbook for more amplified procedures. Also included here is information not readily adaptable to a checklist format and information to which a pilot could not be expected to refer in resolution of a particular emergency. ROUGH ENGINE OPERATION INDUCTION ICING The fuel injection system on this engine is considered to be non-icing. In the event that icing conditions cause the intake air filter to become clogged or iced over, the alternate air source should be manually opened. Due to the lower intake pressure available through the alternate air valve, full throttle manifold pressure can decrease approximately 1.5 inches Hg. ENGINE DRIVEN FUEL PUMP FAILURE Failure of the engine-driven fuel pump will be evidenced by a sudden reduction in the fuel flow indication prior to a loss of power, while operating from a tank containing adequate fuel. In the event of an engine-driven fuel pump failure during takeoff, immediately place the fuel pump switch in the HI position until the airplane is well clear of obstacles. Upon reaching a safe altitude and reducing the power to a cruise setting, place the fuel pump in the low position. The low position will then provide sufficient fuel flow to maintain engine operation while maneuvering for a landing. If an engine-driven fuel pump failure occurs during cruise flight apply full rich mixture and momentarily place the fuel pump switch in the high position to reestablish fuel flow. Then the low position may be used to sustain level flight. If necessary, additional fuel flow is obtainable by placing the fuel pump switch in the high position. FORCED LANDINGS If all attempts to restart the engine fail and a forced landing is imminent, choose a suitable landing area and prepare for the landing as outlined in the Landing Without Engine Power checklist. With float equipped aircraft gear position should be selected based upon the landing surface. Landing on soft or rough ground should be accomplished with the landing gear retracted. If in doubt of the surface you are landing on, land with all landing gear in the UP position. APR 14 2014 IR Page 35 of 81
AMPHIBIAN AIRPLANE FLIGHT MANUAL SUPPLEMENT SECTION 3 Prior to executing an off airport landing with engine power available, fly over the landing area at a safe but low altitude and inspect the terrain for obstructions and undesirable surface conditions. Proceed as outlined in the Precautionary Landing with Engine Power checklist. DITCHING For ditching the aircraft in heavy seas landings should be made parallel to swells, if possible. Landing gear should be in the UP position and heavy objects should be secured or jettisoned. Transmit a Mayday message on 121.5 MHz providing the location and intentions and squawk 7700. At night flaring should be avoided because of possible difficulty in judging the aircraft s height above water surfaces. LANDING WITH A FLAT MAIN TIRE If one tire is known to be flat, efforts should be made to reduce the weight on that side. This can be accomplished be touching down on the fully inflated side first and then allowing the flat side to settle onto the runway. LANDING WITH A FLAT NOSE TIRE The amphibious float landing gear has quadricycle gear. If one nose tire is known to be flat prior to landing, touchdown should be accomplished on the main wheels first and held off of the nose wheels as long as possible. Once the nose wheels have touched brakes should be applied and taxi conducted at as slow a speed as practicable. High speed operations with a flat nose tire may produce nose gear shimmy which can lead to further damage. LANDING GEAR MALFUNCTIONS If efforts to retract or extend the landing gear through the normal gear system fail, the gear can be manually retracted or extended (as long as hydraulic system fluid has not been completely lost) by use of the emergency hand pump. The emergency hand pump is located on the cockpit floor immediately to the right of the pilots seat. Once the gear pump circuit breaker has been pulled, select desired gear position with the emergency gear position valve near the hand pump. After selecting the desired gear position, insert the pump handle and pump vertically to operate the emergency hand pump. It takes approximately 110 complete strokes for floats with aluminum main landing gear and as many as 155 complete strokes for floats with welded steel main landing gear to either raise or lower the landing gear, so approximately 3 minutes should be allowed to complete this function. If one light does not illuminate properly, the bulb should be replaced by a known good bulb. Verification of gear position can be accomplished visually with the nose gear being partially visible over the float bow when in the retracted position and the main gear position indicator visible on the float deck placard. If the landing gear malfunctions, the best course of action will be dependent upon the nature of the failure and the choice of landing surfaces available. However, the procedure most often Page 36 of 81 IR APR 14 2014
AIRPLANE FLIGHT MANUAL SUPPLEMENT AMPHIBIAN SECTION 3 advised is to recycle the gear in an attempt to attain a full up and locked or full down and locked indication. Once a fully locked condition has been attained, land the amphibian in that condition as follows: 1) If all gear are up and locked, land on water, sod, or hard surface runway as conditions permit. If a water landing is not possible a grassy surface is preferable. A landing of this sort usually produces little tendency to nose over when checklist procedures are used, even when conducted on a hard surface runway, in which case little damage to the floats will result. 2) If all gear are down and locked, land on a hard surfaced or sod runway as conditions permit. WARNING!! DO NOT land in the water with the wheels either partially or fully extended. If the landing MUST be accomplished on water and the gear is partially or fully extended, it is suggested that a power-on full stall landing with full flaps would be the best procedure. During deceleration after touchdown, with the gear extended, the float bows will submerge and increase the probability of flipping the amphibian onto its back. SPINS In the event of an inadvertent spin the following procedure is suggested: 1) Reduce throttle to idle. 2) Neutralize the ailerons. 3) Apply rudder fully opposite to the direction of the spin. 4) Move the elevator BRISKLY down AFTER the rudder input and HOLD until recovery occurs. 5) Neutralize the controls after recovery and recover carefully from the resulting dive. 6) If flaps were extended, retract them during the dive recovery to avoid exceeding flap speed or acceleration limits. LANDING WITHOUT ELEVATOR CONTROL Using throttle and elevator trim control, trim for approximately 500 fpm descent with 20 flaps at 85 KIAS. Then control the glide angle by adjusting power. If required, make small trim changes to maintain approximately 85 KIAS as power is adjusted during the approach. The landing flare can be accomplished by a gentle power reduction accompanied by nose up trim. If landing on water, a technique similar to that used for glassy water landings works well. That is, when nearing the water surface, add enough power to slow the descent rate down to approximately 200 ft/min and retrim to maintain 75-85 KIAS. This gives a satisfactory nose up attitude for touchdown. At touchdown, apply nose up trim and reduce power to idle. At the most forward C.G. loadings and light weight, it may be necessary to make a small power increase just prior to touchdown to maintain a comfortable nose up attitude at touchdown. After touchdown, close the throttle. APR 14 2014 IR Page 37 of 81
