PULSAR OPERATIONAL NOTES
Take-off speed
ENGINE OPERATING LIMITATIONS
A summary is included here:
PULSAR XP OPERATIONAL NOTES
Stalls
Expect RIGHT wing drop, without buffet.
Release backpressure, add power to recover.
Climbing
Monitor EGT and CHT
Climb Rate at 10,000 ft, approx 400ft/min
Landing
Approach at 65 – 75 MPH, full flaps
Hold off with light power to arrest descent.
Short approach steady decent at 65MPH, no
power. Wheel landing is very tame with or
without flaps. Touch down at 50 MPH.
Trim
Neutral trim for take-off.
Fuel Selector
Fullest tank for Take-off and Landing.
Alternate tanks every 30 minutes, or to trim.
Aux fuel pump ON when changing tanks
All acrobatics, including intentional spins, are prohibited.
** Even though the Pulsar’s ultimate load factor is +6 and
–4 G’s, operations beyond n1 and n2 will definitely cause
cumulative damage to the Pulsar airframe and systems,
eventually leading to structural failure.
