Caution should be exercised during taxiing to ensure engine temperatures remain within
limits, especially when on the water.
When intending to operate on the water the windows and ventilation ports are to be closed
to prevent ingress of water.
15 MAXIMUM RANGE
Range speed is dependent upon weight.
At 26458lbs 92 Kts will give best range.
Refer to Section 5 for charts and graphs at other weights, for speeds, fuel consumption
and configuration.
16 ENDURANCE SPEED
Endurance speed is the lowest speed compatible with aircraft control. At low weights it can
be as low as 80 Kts but a minimum of 83 kts is to be used, which is compatible with Vmca.
