Flight Control Modes:

Default (blue and red buttons deactivated)

  • Best compromise between performance and stability

Low Rate Mode

  • Lower pitch and roll rates for better precision

"FCS ACRO"

  • Disable pitch rate limiters
  • High risk of exiting controlled flight, for experienced pilots only
  • OVERRULES all flight control modes

Pilot's Notes:

  • Max AoA: 17*
  • Pulls to the right on takeoff due to asymmetric nose gear door
  • Minimize vertical speed and flare angle on touchdown to avoid violent tailstrikes
  • Throttle, rudder, and gear down (moves cg forward) to counteract flat spins
  • Even without disabling the pitch limiter, the Flight Control System may allow dangerous AoA at low speed - fly with vigilance.
