WARNING It is normal for the oil pressure to "flicker" from 69 to 207 kPa (10 to 30 psig) when going from upright to inverted flight. During knife edge flights and zero-g flights oil pressure may drop and the oil system may not scavenge resulting in engine failure or damage if flight is prolonged. Knife edge and zero-g flight should not exceed 10 seconds.

WARNING If oil pressure drops to 0 kPa (psig) the propeller pitch changes automatically to coarse (high) pitch with a corresponding decrease in RPM. Apply positive g to avoid engine stoppage.

4 Fuel Pressure Maximum (at fuel flow divider): 97 kPa (14 psig)

5 Cylinder Head Temperature Maximum 241°C (465°F)

2.7 Flight Maneuvers

1 Normal Flight All aerobatic maneuvers are prohibited except stall, chandelle, lazy eight and turns up to 60 degrees bank angle.

2 Acrobatic Flight The plane is designed for unlimited aerobatics (wing tanks must be empty). Inverted flight maneuvers are limited to max. 4 minutes.

The structure is designed for full aileron control input up to 187 KIAS (346 km/h) in combination with 2/3 of the applicable maximum load factor.

Recommended basic maneuver entry speeds are listed in the following list.

NOTE This airplane is capable of maneuvers up to 10g. If aerobatic maneuvers will be performed with a co-pilot or passenger, the pilot should ensure that the co-pilot/passenger has been properly briefed on the physiological effects of high g maneuvers. This briefing should include accepted muscles straining and breathing techniques to counter the physiological effects of high g maneuvers. During the flight, the pilot should ensure the co-pilot/passenger is doing OK.

WARNING Particular caution must be exercised when performing maneuvers at speeds above VA [161 KIAS (298 km/h)]. Large or abrupt rudder and elevator control inputs above this speed as well as full aileron control inputs above 187 KIAS (346 km/h) may impose unacceptably high loads which exceed the structural capability of the aircraft.

NOTE For aerobatic maneuvers see Section 4. All maneuvers can be performed in upright and inverted flight attitude.

Page Date: 8. October 2019 3

3.0 Introduction

3.0a General

This section contains the checklists and procedures coping with emergencies that may occur. These checklists must be followed in various emergencies to ensure maximum safety for the crew and/or aircraft.

For checklists and procedures associated with optional systems or equipment refer to the applicable Supplements as listed in Section 9.

Thorough knowledge of these procedures will enable the aircrew to better cope with an emergency. The steps should be performed in the listed sequence. However, the procedures do not restrict the aircrew from taking any additional action necessary to deal with the emergency.

3.0b General Behavior in Emergency Situations

As soon as one of the crew members becomes aware that an emergency situation exists, he must immediately alert the other crew member of the situation. In any emergency situation, contact should be established with a ground station as soon as possible after completing the initial corrective action. Include position, altitude, heading, speed, nature of the emergency and pilot's intentions in the first transmission. Thereafter the ground station should be kept informed of the progress of the flight and of any changes or developments in the emergency. Three basic rules apply to most emergencies and should be observed by each aircrew member:

▶ Maintain aircraft control

▶ Analyze the situation and take proper action

Page 48: Information ManualThe EXTRA NG is a high performance aerobatic (unlimited) two-seater airplane in carbon fiber composite construction. It has a low-wing design and a conventional tail

Section 3 Pilot’s Operating Handbook Emergency Procedures EXTRA NG

4 Page Date: 8. October 2019

▶ Land as soon as possible/as soon as practical

The meaning of "as soon as possible" and "as soon as practical" as used in this section is as follows:

Land AS SOON AS POSSIBLE (ASAP): Emergency conditions are urgent and require an immediate landing at the nearest suitable airfield, considering also other factors, such as weather conditions and aircraft mass.

Land AS SOON AS PRACTICAL: Emergency conditions are less urgent and in the aircrews judgment the flight may be safely continued to an airfield where more adequate facilities are available.

WARNING Make only one attempt to restore an automatically disconnected power source or to reset or replace an automatically disconnected CPD (circuit protection device) that affects flight operations or safety. Each successive attempt to restore an automatically disconnected power source, or the resetting of an automatically disconnected CPD can result in progressively worse effects.

Page 53: Information ManualThe EXTRA NG is a high performance aerobatic (unlimited) two-seater airplane in carbon fiber composite construction. It has a low-wing design and a conventional tail

Pilot’s Operating Handbook Section 3 EXTRA NG Emergency Procedures

Page Date: 8. October 2019 9

In case of electrical power loss the EFIS can be recovered by activating the backup battery.

The EFIS is installed for situational awareness only and the primary source for flight data is the mechanical instrumentation. Loss of flight instrumentation in the EFIS is therefore not an emergency. The aircraft may be flown without further limitations.

Although all engine and system indications are lost, this failure does not cause any harm. The engine cannot be operated outside its limitations.

However: Fuel needs to be checked by time-check.

Landing on appropriate airfield is recommended.

Item Condition

If EFIS is black:

BACKUP BATTERY switch ON

If screen recovers:

Land AS SOON AS PRACTICAL backup battery will ensure screen indication for 30 minutes.

3.5a Inadvertent Icing Encounter

▶ Turn back or change altitude to obtain an outside temperature that is less conductive to icing.

▶ Plan a landing at the nearest airfield. With extremely rapid ice build-up select a suitable "off airport" landing field.

3.6 Unintentional Spin

To stop the spin:

▶ Apply opposite rudder

▶ Make sure, power idle

▶ Hold ailerons neutral

▶ Stick to neutral position

Page Date: 8. October 2019 15

The plane will recover within 1/2 turn. Recovery can still be improved by feeding in in-spin ailerons.

If ever disorientation should occur during spins (normal or inverted) one method always works to stop the spin:

▶ Power idle

▶ Kick rudder to the heavier side (this will always be against spin direction)

▶ Take hands off the stick

The spin will end after 1/2 turn. The plane will be in a steep dive in a side-slip.

▶ Recover to normal flight (can be performed easily).

NOTE After six turns of spinning the altitude loss including recovery is 3200 ft.

3.7 Manual Bail-out

When in an emergency situation that requires abandoning the aircraft and while wearing a parachute, which is at least strongly recommended for aerobatics:

▶ Inform your passenger.

▶ Reduce speed to 100 KIAS (185 km/h) if possible.

▶ Pull mixture to lean.

▶ Open canopy. (The low pressure over the canopy in normal flight will flip the canopy fully open immediately)

▶ Take off headset.

▶ Open seat belt.

▶ Leave airplane to the left side.

▶ Try to avoid wing and tail.

▶ Open parachute.

4.0 Trim Runaway

In case of trim runaway the aircraft remains controllable in all normal flight conditions. However, higher control forces have to be expected especially at high airspeeds.

▶ Abort aerobatics.

▶ Keep moderate airspeeds.

▶ Reset TRIM circuit breaker (1 attempt only).

▶ Land at nearest suitable airfield.

▶ Expect higher control forces.

4.12 Aerobatic Maneuvers

4.12a General

NOTE Prior to executing these maneuvers tighten harnesses and check all loose items are stowed. Start the maneuvers at safe altitude and maximum continuous power setting if not otherwise noted.

For maneuver limits refer to Section 2 Limitations.

At high negative g-loads and zero g-periods it is normal that oil pressure and RPM indication might drop down momentarily returning to normal status at positive g-loads.

WARNING The high permissible load factors of the airplane may exceed the individual physiological limits of pilot or passenger.

► Consider this fact when pulling or pushing high gs.

4.12b Maneuvers

WARNING Large or abrupt rudder and elevator control inputs above VO [161 KIAS (298 km/h)] as well as full aileron control inputs above 187 KIAS (346 km/h) may impose unacceptable high loads which exceed the structural capability of the aircraft.

► Exercise particular caution when performing maneuvers above these speeds.

Aerobatics is traditionally understood as maneuvers like loop, humpty bump, hammerhead turn, aileron roll etc..

This manual does not undertake to teach aerobatics, however, it is meant to demonstrate the plane's capabilities.

Page 81: Information ManualThe EXTRA NG is a high performance aerobatic (unlimited) two-seater airplane in carbon fiber composite construction. It has a low-wing design and a conventional tail

Pilot’s Operating Handbook Section 4 EXTRA NG Normal Procedures

Page Date: 8. October 2019 19

For this reason maneuvers are divided into segments. The segments are described. Limitations are pointed out.

• Segment horizontal line:

A horizontal line may be flown with any speed between VS and VNE

• Segment line 45° climbing:

The plane will follow the line at max. power. The speed will not decrease below 80 KIAS (148 km/h)

• Segment line 90° up:

Any entry speed may be used. Out of a horizontal pull-up at 200 KIAS (370 km/h) the vertical penetration will be 2.500 ft. The speed will gradually decrease to 0.

NOTICE In extremely long lines a RPM-decay may occur. This is related to a loss of oil pressure.

► Pull immediately positive gs in order to protect the engine. Oil pressure will return immediately.

• Segment line 45° diving:

Throttle must be reduced in order to avoid exceeding VNE.

• Segment line 90° diving:

Throttle must be reduced to idle in order to avoid exceeding VNE.

Above segments may be filled up with aileron rolls or snap rolls. Watch 187 KIAS (346 km/h) for aileron rolls with maximum deflection.

Snap rolls should not be performed at speeds above 140 KIAS (259 km/h).

• Segment 1/4 loop, climbing:

Page 82: Information ManualThe EXTRA NG is a high performance aerobatic (unlimited) two-seater airplane in carbon fiber composite construction. It has a low-wing design and a conventional tail

Section 4 Pilot’s Operating Handbook Normal Procedures EXTRA NG

20 Page Date: 8. October 2019

The minimum recommended speed is 100 KIAS (185 km/h). If the maneuver is to be followed by a vertical line, a higher entry speed is required depending on the expected length of the line. A complete loop can be performed at speeds above 100 KIAS (185 km/h).

NOTE Since the maximum horizontal speed is 200 KIAS (370 km/h), higher speeds should be avoided in aerobatics since an unnecessary loss of altitude would occur.

• Torque maneuvers:

All maneuvers with high angular velocity associated with high propeller RPM must be considered dangerous for the engine crankshaft.

Although wooden composite propeller blades are used, the gyroscopic forces at the prop flange are extremely high.

NOTE If performing a gyroscopic maneuver such as flat spin, power on, or knife edge spin, reduce RPM to 2400 in order to minimize the gyroscopic forces.

4.12c Spin

To enter a spin proceed as follows: ▶ Reduce speed, power idle

When the plane stalls: ▶ Kick rudder to desired spin direction

▶ Hold ailerons neutral

▶ Stick back (positive spinning), stick forward (negative spinning)

The plane will immediately enter a stable spin.

Ailerons against spin direction will make the spin flatter. Ailerons into spin direction will lead to a spiral dive.

Pilot’s Operating Handbook Section 4 EXTRA NG Normal Procedures

Page Date: 8. October 2019 21

Above apply for positive and negative spinning.

To stop the spin: ▶ Apply opposite rudder

▶ Make sure, power idle

▶ Hold ailerons neutral

▶ Stick to neutral position

The plane will recover within 1/2 turn.

Recovery can still be improved by feeding in in-spin ailerons.

NOTE If ever disorientation should occur during spins (normal or inverted) one method always works to stop the spin:

▶ Power idle

▶ Kick rudder to the heavier side (this will always be against spin direction)

▶ Take hands off the stick

The spin will end after 1/2 turn. The plane will be in a steep dive in a side-slip.

▶ Recovery to normal flight can be performed easily.

NOTE After six turns of spinning the altitude loss including recovery is 3200 ft.

4.13 Noise Characteristics

Compliance with noise requirements has not been shown with the Gomolzig EA300-606000 (6 in 1) and propeller MTV-9-B-C/C 198-25.

Therefore this exhaust/propeller combination is limited to the Acrobatic Category.

The noise level with silencer Gomolzig EA300-606000 (6 in 1) and propeller MTV-14-B-C/C 190-130 at 2700 RPM has been established in accordance with:

• ICAO Annex 16, 8th Edition incorporating Amendment 11, Volume 1, Chapter 10 as 77.1 dB(A).

and

• FAR 36 Appendix G, Amendment 30 as 77.1 dB(A).

No determination has been made by the Federal Aviation Administration that the noise levels of this aircraft are or should be acceptable or unacceptable for operation at, into, or out of any airport. The above noise levels were established at 950 kg [1980 lbs] takeoff weight.

This aircraft model is in compliance with all ICAO and FAR 36 noise standards applicable to this type.

5.1 General

Performance data charts on the following pages are presented to facilitate the planning of flights in detail and with reasonable accuracy under various conditions. The data in the charts have been computed from actual flight tests with the aircraft and engine in good condition and using average piloting techniques.

It should be noted that the performance information presented in the range and endurance charts allow for 30 minutes reserve fuel at specified speeds. Some indeterminate variables such as engine and propeller, air turbulence and others may account for variations as high as 10% or more in range and endurance. Therefore, it is important to utilize all available information to estimate the fuel required for the particular flight.

5.1a Performance Charts

Performance data are presented in tabular or graphical form to illustrate the effect of different variables. Sufficiently detailed information is provided in the tables so that conservative values can be selected and used to determine particular performance figures with reasonable accuracy.

All speeds in this chapter are Indicated Air Speeds (IAS) except otherwise stated. The performance figures below are given under following conditions:

• Maximum allowed weight 950 kg (2095 lbs) except otherwise stated

• Take-off and landing on concrete surface.

• No wind.

• Standard atmospheric condition.

Max altitude loss during stall recovery is approximately 100 ft (30 m).

5.5 Take-Off Performance

The following tables show both the distances of the take-off run and the take-off distances to a height of 15 m (50 ft). The tables are prepared for different take-off weights, pressure altitudes and ISA conditions. Intermediate values can be obtained by interpolation. To calculate conservatively always take the higher value of the respective table.

The listed take-off distances are valid for a hard surface runway, clean airplane and no wind.

for wet grass 30% 1.30

for soft surface Minimum 25% 1.25

for dirty or wet wings 30% 1.30

per 1 knots tailwind component 3% 1.03

per 1% uphill slope 5% 1.05

NOTE Reduction of take-off distances due to downhill slope or headwind must not be taken into account.

Configuration: T/O weight: 950 kg (2095 lbs) Total usable fuel capacity: 193 L (51.0 US gal) Total fuel for performance planning2: 180 L (47.6 US gal)

Range and Endurance values include fuel for warm-up, taxi and take-off from SL, max. cont. power climb to cruising altitude, descent and landing, and a reserve for 30 minutes with 45% power (at ISA-Conditions). See following tables:

2 If the center tank is empty the MAIN tank fuel capacity indicator shows “0”. For that reason the amount of remaining usable fuel in the acro tank [13 L (3.4 US gal)] cannot be checked during flight and therefore must not be taken into account for cruise performance planning.

Legend (for the following table):

*1 For temperatures above/below Standard (ISA), increase/decrease Endurance by 1,1% for each 10°C (18°F) above/below Standard Day Temperature for the particular altitude.

*2 For temperatures above/below Standard (ISA), increase/decrease Range by 1,7% for each 10°C (18°F) above/below Standard Day Temperature for the particular altitude.

*3 Leaning with exhaust gas temperature (EGT) gage.

WARNING Risk of engine overheating.

► Always return the mixture to full rich before increasing power settings. For the adjustment "Best Power", first lean the mixture to achieve the top exhaust temperature (peak EGT) and then enrich again until the exhaust temperature is 100°F lower than peak EGT. For the adjustment "Best Economy", simply lean the mixture to achieve the top exhaust temperature (peak EGT).

6.1 General

This section describes the procedure for establishing the basic weight and moment of the aircraft. Sample forms are provided for reference. Procedures for calculating the weight and movement for various operations are also provided. A comprehensive list of all equipment available for this aircraft is included. It is the responsibility of the pilot to ensure that the aircraft is loaded properly.

6.2 Aircraft Weighing Procedure

The aircraft weight is determined by weighing all three wheel loads simultaneously by three scales with the aircraft levelled (horizontal reference line is the canopy frame).

Reference plane for weight arms X is the firewall.

W1 Net weight indicated by the scale below the LH main wheel

W2 Net weight indicated by the scale below the RH main wheel

W3 Net weight indicated by the scale below the tail wheel

W Total weight = W1 + W2 + W3

X1 Distance: fire wall plane - main wheels

X2 Distance: fire wall plane - tail wheel

XG Distance: fire wall plane - Center of Gravity

Calculation:

XG = W1 · X1+ W2 · X1+ W3 · X2W

7.1 The Aircraft

The aircraft EXTRA NG is designed to fulfill primary flight training, normal operation rules and aerobatic training up to unlimited aerobatic level.

The EXTRA NG is a high performance aerobatic (unlimited), two-seater airplane in carbon fiber composite construction. It has a low-wing design and conventional tail. The single-engine propulsion system uses a tractor propeller. A six-cylinder piston engine acts directly on the propeller. The airplane is equipped with constant-speed propeller and fixed taildragger landing gear.

The fiber composite parts of the airplane are qualified up to 72°C (161.6°F). In order not to exceed this temperature an appropriate color specification for composite structure is defined by the manufacturer.

The standard aircraft is designed to operate within a range of ambient air temperature from -20°C to +44°C (-4°F to 111°F) at sea level. It is possible to start the engine using the aircraft battery at -20°C (-4°F) without preheating. Below -10°C (+14°F) OAT a special oil breather line must be adapted (available as kit).

7.2 Fuselage

The fuselage is a CFRP semi-monocoque construction including

• the vertical stabilizer

• the structural support for the wing, horizontal tail, the main and tail landing gear

• the canopy

Page 124: Information ManualThe EXTRA NG is a high performance aerobatic (unlimited) two-seater airplane in carbon fiber composite construction. It has a low-wing design and a conventional tail

Section 7 Pilot’s Operating Handbook Description & Operation EXTRA NG

4 Page Date: 8. October 2019

• the engine mount

• the engine cowling

• fairings.

The front bulkhead CFRP structure is protected by a titanium firewall and an additional thermal insulation. The engine mount is made of TIG-welded steel tubes.

The canopy frame itself is constructed from CFRP. The canopy is one part, opens to the right and is held in the open position by a belt. Emergency jettisoning is achieved by simply unlatching the canopy. For additional pilot protection a roll bar is integrated in the fuselage carbon structure behind the rear pilot’s seat.

7.3 Wing

The wing is a CFRP construction. The dual chamber main spar - being a failsafe design - consists of carbon roving caps combined with CFRP webs. Core foam is a PVC foam. The wing shell is built from a Honeycomb sandwich with CFRP laminates. Wing box ribs are made of carbon fiber composite with honeycomb core. The ribs in the nose section are made of wood. The connection to the fuselage is arranged by two bolts piercing through the spar parallel to the centerline of the fuselage and two brackets at the rear spars.

The ailerons are supported at four points in spherical bearings. In addition the aileron tip has a shielded horn balance.

The hinge line of the ailerons is positioned at 25% of the aileron chord. Furthermore the ailerons are equipped with "spades" to decrease stick forces. The aileron control push-pull rods are connected to the aileron at the second bearing point (in span-wise direction). To

prevent flutter the ailerons are mass balanced at the leading edge of the shielded horn.

7.4 Empennage

The EXTRA NG possesses a cruciform empennage with fixed stabilizers and moveable control surfaces. It is constructed of CFRP. The vertical stabilizer is integrated in the fuselage structure.

The spars consist of PVC foam cores, CFRP caps and CFRP laminates. The shell is built using honeycomb sandwich with CFRP laminates.

To reduce the control forces and increase maneuverability, the rudder incorporates an unshielded aerodynamic horn balance at the tip and the elevator incorporates a shielded aerodynamic horn balance at both tips.

The control surfaces are mounted in spherical bearings. On the R/H elevator half a trim tab is fitted with two hinges.

To prevent flutter rudder and elevator are mass balanced.

7.5 Flight Control System

7.5a Primary Control System

The EXTRA NG is standard equipped with full dual primary flight controls including front and rear sticks and adjustable rudder pedals. The primary control surfaces are operated through a direct mechanical linkage.

Section 7 Pilot’s Operating Handbook Description & Operation EXTRA NG

6 Page Date: 8. October 2019

7.5b Longitudinal Flight Control System

Front and rear sticks are interconnected by a push-pull rod inside the torque tube. From there the control movements are transferred to the elevator by two additional push rods.

7.5c Lateral Flight Control System

Push and pull rods are connected by sealed ball bearings from the torque tube to the ailerons.

The ailerons are statically as well as dynamically balanced (dynamically with spades).

The ailerons are supported by lubricated, sealed bearings.

7.5d Directional Flight Control System

The dual adjustable rudder pedals with brake pedals operate the rudder through a cable system. Springs keep the cables under tension when they are not operated.

7.5e Secondary Control

The elevator trim tab is actuated by an electric trim servo located in the right rear fuselage. It is controlled by a trim switch integrated in the control stick handle. Trim position is indicated on the PFD.

7.6 Cockpit

7.6a Instrumentation

The Extra NG is equipped with flight instruments in both cockpits.

Instruments and placards can be provided with markings in either metric or imperial units. The color markings in instruments follow EASA CS-23 and US-FAR, part 23 recommendations (see Section 2).

902.1 General

The G5 Electronic Flight Instrument installed in the front instrument panel is an electronic instrument which displays attitude, slip and turn rate information to the pilot. It also contains indications of airspeed and altitude. Additionally ground track and ground speed are indicated. An optional backup battery sustains the G5 attitude for up to four hours, in case of a loss of aircraft electrical power.

The internal ADAHRS of the G5 is connected to the ADAHRS of the Garmin EFIS via CAN bus. This connection is used for flight data sharing and cross-checking in case of a failure of either system.

902.3 Emergency Procedure

902.3a G5 Failure Indications

When a G5 function fails, a large red ‘X’ is typically displayed over the instrument(s) or data experiencing the failure. Upon G5 power-up, certain instruments remain invalid as equipment begins to initialize. All instruments should be operational within one minute of power-up. If any instrument remains flagged and it is not likely an installation related problem, the G5 should be serviced by a Garmin-authorized repair facility.

Attitude Failure Attitude failure is indicated by removal of the sky/ground presentation, a red X, and a yellow “ATTITUDE FAIL” on the display.

Rate-of-turn and slip information will not be available.

902.3b Attitude Aligning

During system initialization, the G5 displays the message ‘ALIGNING’ over the attitude indicator. The G5 should display valid attitude typically within the first minute of power-up. The G5 can align itself both while taxiing and during level flight.

Page 192: Information ManualThe EXTRA NG is a high performance aerobatic (unlimited) two-seater airplane in carbon fiber composite construction. It has a low-wing design and a conventional tail

Section 902 Pilot’s Operating Handbook GARMIN G5 EXTRA NG

6 Page Date: 8. October 2019

Even if the attitude “ALIGNING” indication occurs during flight and attitude remains displayed, the attitude display can be used for situational awareness. The message will clear when the attitude solution is within the systems internal accuracy tolerances.

It is recommended to keep wings level to reduce the time for the message to clear.

902.3c Attitude Aligning / Keep Wings Level

If the “ALIGNING KEEP WINGS LEVEL” indication occurs during flight, the G5 has detected an invalid attitude solution and will not display any attitude information.

It is recommended to keep wings level to reduce the time for system recovery.

The system will display attitude when internal accuracy tolerances have been met again.

902.3d Loss of Electrical Power

In the event of a loss of aircraft electrical power to the G5, the indicator will continue to function on its optional internal battery, when the following action is performed within 45 seconds:

"External Power Lost" indication

▶ Press any key to continue on battery power

Internal battery endurance is then indicated on the G5 display in hours and minutes, the charging symbol will be removed and the internal battery will not be charged.

902.3e System Messages

The G5 has the capability to display system messages to the crew along the bottom of the display. The following

Page Date: 8. October 2019 3

903.1 General

To improve the passive security, the EXTRA NG can be equipped with an optional Emergency Locator Transmitter KANNAD AF 406-INTEGRA ELT.

In the event of a crash, the AF 406 activates automatically (automatic fixed „AF“ configuration), and transmits the standard swept tone on 121.5 MHz lasting until the battery is depleted. This 121.5 MHz signal is mainly used to pinpoint the beacon during search and rescue operations. In addition, for the first 24 hours of operation, a 406 MHz signal is transmitted at 50-second intervals. This transmission lasts 440 ms and contains identification data programmed into the beacon and is received by Cospas-Sarsat satellites. The transmitted data is referenced in a database (maintained by the national authority responsible for ELT registration) and used to identify the beacon and owner.

When the ELT is activated, the panel LED pulses periodically. The time between pulses lengthens after a predetermined transmitter ‘on’ time.

NOTE In October 2000 the International Cospas-Sarsat Program, announced at its 25th Council Session held in London, UK that it plans to terminate satellite processing of distress signals from 121.5 and 243 MHz emergency beacons on February 1, 2009.

Accuracy Doppler positioning is employed using both 121.5 MHz and 406 MHz signals. Position accuracy of the 121.5 MHz signal is within an area of approximately 15-20 km radius about the transmitter. Due to the better integrity of the 406 MHz signal, its location accuracy is within about a 3 km radius.

Page Date: 8. October 2019 5

903.3 Emergency Procedures

▶ In case of a forced landing switch the remote switch in the rear instrument panel to the "ON" position prior to touch down.

▶ Although the ELT will be activated automatically after an aircraft accident or forced landing with high G-force, switch additionally the remote switch in the rear panel to the "ON" position.

After sighting rescue aircraft:

▶ Switch the remote switch to the "ARM" position to prevent radio interference.

▶ Attempt contact with rescue aircraft with the radio transceiver set to a frequency of 121.5 MHz. If no contact is established, switch the remote switch to the "ON" position immediately.

If the function of the remote switch is in doubt proceed as follows:

▶ Remove quick pins from the backrest adjustment and swivel the backrest forward to get access to the ELT unit.

▶ Use the master switch at the ELT unit analogously.

Function Check of the ELT

▶ If the aircraft receiver is operable, check ELT function by listening on 121.5 MHz for ELT transmission. Ensure that the ELT antenna is clear of any obstructions.

903.4 Normal Procedures

It is recommended by the manufacturer to test the ELT to detect any possible failure.

Page 202: Information ManualThe EXTRA NG is a high performance aerobatic (unlimited) two-seater airplane in carbon fiber composite construction. It has a low-wing design and a conventional tail

Section 903 Pilot’s Operating Handbook KANNAD AF 406 ELT EXTRA NG

6 Page Date: 8. October 2019

An operational check must be performed regularly by a pilot or maintenance personnel from the cockpit (Remote Control Panel). It is recommended to perform a self-test once a month but it should not be done more than once a week.

Each self-test consumes energy from the battery. Should self-tests be carried out more often than the maximum allowed, the battery life-time might be shorter than specified.

Self-Test Procedure

▶ Check that the antenna is correctly connected.

▶ Do not perform self-test without antenna connected.

▶ Tune aircraft radio to 121.5 MHz and adjust volume to ensure you can hear it.

▶ Switch from position „OFF“ to position „ARM“ or press RESET & TEST on the Remote Control Panel (ensure that the ELT switch is in position „ARM“).

Close to the end of the self-test a short (3-4 sweeps) 121.5 transmission is made.

▶ Confirm this on the aircraft radio.

After a few seconds, the test result is displayed with the red visual indicator:

One long flash indicates that the system is operational and that no error conditions were found.

A series of short flashes indicates the test has failed.

Section 903 Pilot’s Operating Handbook KANNAD AF 406 ELT EXTRA NG

8 Page Date: 8. October 2019

903.7.1 Switch Operation

In a crash, an acceleration activated crash sensor (G-switch) turns the ELT ‘on’ automatically. Activation is also accomplished by switching the cockpit mounted remote switch or the switch on the ELT to the 'ON' position. To deactivate the ELT place the switch on the ELT unit to the ‘OFF’ position.

NOTE With remote switch disconnected or during transport the ELT can still be manually activated using the local switch on the front of the ELT. Care should be taken when transporting or shipping the ELT not to move the switch or allow packing material to become lodged such as to toggle the switch.

It is possible to stop the ELT in case of unintentional activation:

▶ Switch to 'OFF'.

Regulations state that no transmission must be interrupted unless all means are used to contact and inform the Air Traffic Controller of this action.

NOTE As 406 MHz transmission is effective 50 seconds after the ELT activation, if it is switched off within this delay, no further radio contact will be necessary.

904.1 General

The TY91 VHF radio system is an ED-23C compliant class C (25 kHz offset carrier) and class E (8.33 kHz single carrier) VHF radio.

The TY91 VHF radio is controlled using a separate front panel controller, called the TC90. This allows the radio to be mounted separately from the instrument panel, and reduces the amount of panel space taken by the VHF radio.

The TC90 is certified to ETSO 2C169a, and TSO C169a.

904.7a Controls and Indicators

Front Panel

Display The display shows the primary and standby frequencies and a series of icons to indicate the operating mode of the radio.

The primary frequency is at the top and the standby frequency is at the bottom half of the screen. The TX icon shows that the radio is transmitting. An RX icon shows that the frequency is active and the audio will be heard through the headphone and speaker outputs. The standby frequency will only be received during the MONITOR function which is indicated by a +2 icon when active.

The bottom right hand side indicates what frequency step size is selected.

Page 213: Information ManualThe EXTRA NG is a high performance aerobatic (unlimited) two-seater airplane in carbon fiber composite construction. It has a low-wing design and a conventional tail

Pilot’s Operating Handbook Section 904 EXTRA NG TRIG TY91 VHF Radio

Page Date: 8. October 2019 7

On/Off, Volume and Squelch Knob The left hand knob controls the power to the VHF radio, adjusts the audio volume, and controls the squelch. Turning this knob clockwise will switch on the radio and then increase the volume. Turning anticlockwise will reduce the volume and eventually will click off.

Pressing this knob toggles the automatic squelch on and off, which can be used to listen for faint stations and as a simple audio test.

Tuning Knobs The right hand concentric knobs are used to tune the radio. The large knob adjusts the MHz portion of the standby frequency, and the smaller knob adjusts the kHz portion of the standby frequency.

Pressing the end of the small knob changes the channel spacing that the small knob operates through. If the radio is configured for 8.33 kHz operation, the steps toggle between 8.33 kHz channels and 25 kHz channels. If the radio is configured only for 25 kHz operation, the steps toggle between 25 kHz and 50 kHz channels.

Changing the step size does not change the behaviour of the radio, only the tuning knob step size – it helps to quickly tune a frequency.

Flip-flop Button The flip-flop button swaps the frequency in the standby position into the active position, and moves the active frequency to the standby position.

MON Button The VHF radio includes a dual-frequency listen feature; pressing the MON button toggles this feature on and off.

When the monitor is active, a +2 icon appears next to the standby frequency, and the radio will scan between the active and standby frequencies listening for

transmissions. The primary channel has priority – a transmission on the primary channel will interrupt the secondary channel. As an aid to identifying which channel is active, the RX icon will light next to the active channel and the secondary channel will appear slightly quieter than the primary.

This is useful in an aircraft with only a single radio since it allows you, for example, to copy the ATIS whilst maintaining a listening watch on the ATC frequency.

904.7b Remote Frequency Database

If a compatible GPS is connected, the controller will be loaded with airport frequencies from the GPS database. These frequencies are accessed by pressing the MEM button. The airport frequencies and selection order are determined by the data sent to the controller from the GPS.

The available airports can be scrolled through using the large frequency select knob. The individual frequencies associated with that airport can be scrolled through by

Page 215: Information ManualThe EXTRA NG is a high performance aerobatic (unlimited) two-seater airplane in carbon fiber composite construction. It has a low-wing design and a conventional tail

Page Date: 8. October 2019 9

using the smaller frequency select knob. After you have stepped through all the loaded airports, or if there is no GPS attached, the built-in memory of the controller will be displayed.

In each case the selected frequency is loaded into the standby position. Pressing MEM again leaves the stored frequency in the standby window. Pressing the Flip-flop button loads the stored frequency directly into the active channel.

NOTE When the controller is displaying the available airport frequencies it will not accept any new updates from the GPS to avoid the frequencies changing during selection. To allow the GPS to update the available frequency database you must come out of memory mode by pressing the MEM or flip-flop button.

10 Page Date: 8. October 2019

904.7c Frequency Memory

If no GPS is connected and the MEM button is pressed, or if the large knob is rotated beyond the remote database the controller will access the internal quick reference memory. There are 9 quick reference memory locations and the bottom edge of the screen will display which memory location is currently selected (1 – 9).

Rotating the small frequency selector knob will step through the memory locations. The standby frequency window will display the stored frequency.

To store a frequency in one of the memory locations it must first be tuned and active as the primary frequency. Press MEM to enter the memory mode in the usual way. Select the channel you want to overwrite with the tuning knobs.

Now press, AND HOLD, the MEM button for 2 seconds. The current active frequency will be moved to the selected memory location, overwriting the existing contents.

904.7f Dual Control Operation

If two control heads are installed for a dual control setup then changes made to one controller will be automatically updated on the second controller. There is a small time lag between operating one controller and updating the display on the second controller. This is purely a delay in the display and there is no delay in the tuning or operation of the TY91 radio.

The exception is that the radio volume knob works on a “loudest wins” basis. The radio volume will always correspond to the control head that has the volume knob set to the highest position. This means that only one of the controllers needs to be turned up to operate the radio normally, for example when flying a tandem aircraft solo.

Dual Control Individual Functions The following functions are local to the individual control head and will not automatically update or transfer between two controllers:

Frequency Step Size

Changing the frequency step size by pressing the PUSH/STEP button on one controller does not affect the other controller.

Brightness The brightness is separately adjusted on each controller.

905.1 General

The TT21/TT22 Mode S transponder system is an ED-73C compliant Mode S level 2els datalink transponder, with support for ADS-B extended squitter, elementary surveillance and SI codes, which also meets the relevant environmental requirements of ED-14F.

The TT21 has a nominal power output of 125 Watts, and meets the power output requirements for Class 2. The TT22 has a nominal power output of 250 watts, and meets the power output requirements for Class 1. The ADS-B function meets DO-260B class B0 for the TT21 and class B1S for the TT22. The TT21/TT22 is certified to ETSO 2C112b and ETSO C166a, and to FAA TSO C112c and C166b.

The TT21/TT22 transponder is controlled using a separate front panel controller, called the TC20. This allows the transponder to be mounted separately from the instrument panel, and reduces the amount of panel space taken by the transponder. The TC20 includes an altitude encoder. The TC20 is certified to ETSO 2C112b and ETSO C88a, and to FAA TSO C112c and TSO C88b.

905.7 Description

905.7a Controls and Indicators

Front Panel

Display The display shows the operating mode of the transponder, the reported pressure altitude, and the current squawk code and Flight ID. The reply indicator is active when the transponder replies to interrogations.

The pressure altitude is displayed as a Flight Level, which is the pressure altitude in hundreds of feet. When non-standard atmospheric conditions apply, this may not match the altimeter indicated altitude, but will be correctly displayed by the ATC radar.

Mode Selector Knob The left hand knob controls the power to the transponder and the operating mode.

OFF Power is removed from the transponder.

SBY The transponder is on, but will not reply to any interrogations.

Page Date: 8. October 2019 7

GND The transponder will respond to Mode S ground interrogations from surface movement radar.

ON The transponder will respond to all interrogations, but altitude reporting is suppressed.

ALT The transponder will respond to all interrogations.

When airborne, the transponder should always be set to ALT unless otherwise directed by Air Traffic Control. When you are taxiing on the ground, the transponder should be set to GND mode. If your installation includes a squat switch or is configured with an automatic air/ground system it will switch automatically and you do not need to manually select the GND position.

Push Buttons IDT Press the IDT button when ATC instructs you to “Ident”

or “Squawk Ident”. This activates the SPI pulse in the transponder replies for 18 seconds. IDT will appear in the display.

FN Pressing the FUNC button provides access to changing the Flight ID and the ADS-B position monitor (depending on installation) and display brightness control.

VFR Pressing the VFR button sets the transponder to the pre-programmed conspicuity code. Pressing the button again restores the previous squawk code.

ENT The ENT button enters a digit in the code selector.

Code Selector Knob The right hand knob is used to set squawk codes and the Flight ID. The FN button selects which will be updated. Turning the knob will highlight the first digit on the display, and the digit can be changed as required. Press the ENT button to advance to the next digit. When ENT is pressed on the last digit, the new squawk code or Flight ID will replace the previous value.

If the code entry is not completed within 7 seconds, the changes are ignored and the previous code restored.

1200 VFR code in the USA

7000 VFR code commonly used in Europe.

7500 Hijack code

7600 Loss of communications

7700 Emergency code

The Flight ID should correspond to the aircraft call sign entered on your flight plan. If no flight plan is active, the aircraft registration should be used as your Flight ID. Use only letters and digits. If the Flight ID is less than 8 characters long, entering a blank character will end it.

905.7b Altitude Encoder Warm Up

The built in altitude encoder uses a sensor that is temperature dependent. A small internal heater circuit keeps the sensor at the correct temperature. When the ambient temperature is below 0 °C there may be a delay between switching on the transponder and seeing an altitude reported. In very cold weather this delay can be several minutes. You should always switch on the transponder (usually to GND mode) before taxiing to the runway, to ensure that the sensor is operating before you become airborne.

905.7c General Low Temperature Operation

The transponder is certified to operate correctly down to -25 °C, but at low temperatures the display may be impaired. On a cold day you may need to wait for the cockpit to warm up to ensure normal operation.

905.7d ADS-B Monitor

The ADS-B Monitor is only available on installations that include an ADS-B position source. The ADS-B Monitor provides a display of the position information that is being transmitted in ADS-B position reports. This can provide confirmation that the correct information is being transmitted, particularly where the GPS source is remote from the transponder.

In the event that valid position information is NOT available from the GPS, the latitude and longitude display will be replaced by dashes; if no valid latitude and longitude is shown then ADS-B position information is NOT being transmitted.

Loss of ADS-B position information will also result in a WARNING message being displayed.

905.7e Display Brightness Control

Pressing the FN button will allow access to change the display brightness. A bar will appear on the display with the title “Brightness” above the bar. Rotate the Code Knob to select the desired brightness level. Press FN to save the setting and return to the Squawk code display.

905.7f Warning Messages

If the transponder detects a problem, the screen will indicate WARNING and a brief statement of the problem. Depending on the nature of the problem, your transponder may not be replying to interrogations. Note the message on the screen and pass that information to your avionics maintenance organisation. Press ENT to clear the message; if the fault is still present the message will reappear.

905.7g Fault Annunciation

If the transponder detects a catastrophic internal failure, the screen will indicate FAULT and a brief statement of the problem. No replies will be made to interrogations when a fault has been detected.

Some FAULT indications can be recovered by switching the transponder off and back on again, although in all cases a FAULT code implies that there is a fault with the transponder or the installation. Note the FAULT message at the bottom of the screen and pass that information to your avionics maintenance organization.
