C42 Series Pilot Operating HandbookIntroductionC42 series aircraft are built in compliance with the airworthinessrequirements of various countries and are certified as Microlight,Ultralight, Advanced Ultralight and Light Sport Aircraft.To operate the aircraft the pilot must hold a license or certificateappropriate to this category of aircraft. The aircraft is not to be flownunless it is registered, carries registration markings in accordancewith the requirements of the country in which the aircraft is to beflown, and has a Permit to Fly or certificate of Airworthiness valid inthe country of operation.The aircraft is to be flown under daytime VFR conditions. Flight inconditions other than daytime VFR without the correct aircraftequipment and pilot ratings is extremely dangerous and can result inserious injury or death.Pilots holding licences for other categories, even higher ones, arerequired to be checked out by an appropriately qualified instructorprior to flying this aircraft as it possesses characteristics that areunique to light sport type aircraft. These characteristics include lowinertia, susceptibility to turbulence and wind gradient and specialengine considerations.The safety of all occupants, the aircraft and persons on the groundare the sole responsibility of the the Pilot in command. Do not operatethis aircraft in a manner that would endanger the occupants, theaircraft or persons on the ground.POH C42 Series Issue-3 Rev 128.01.2014Page 4 of 91
C42 Series Pilot Operating HandbookBear in mind that the engines used in C42 aircraft are not certifiedaviation engines and thus may not offer the same safety standardsfound in other classes of aircraft. Prepare your flight so that you canalways reach an emergency landing area should you experienceengine failure. On cross country flights, ALWAYS keep an emergencylanding field in sight.Changes to the control system, structure,wings and engine are prohibited.These changes would invalidate any certificate of airworthiness orpermit to fly and as such would result in an insurance becoming nulland void.All operating difficulties and equipment failures should be reportedto your dealer or the manufacturer.For fire safety reasons, smoking is prohibited on board of theaircraft.POH C42 Series Issue-3 Rev 128.01.2014Page 5 of 91

When the engine starts, quickly reduce thethrottle to idle.A four-stroke engine requires a fairly long warm up period. Run the engineat 2000 rpm for at least 2 minutes then increase to 2500 rpm until the oiltemperature is at least 122 F (50 C).Perform the MAG check at 4000 rpm. Rpm drop should not exceed 300rpm with a maximum difference between MAGs of 115 rpm.In case your aircraft is equipped with a cowl flap, please referto the instructions in the paragraph 4.9 : when equipped witha cowl flapPOH C42 Series Issue-3 Rev 128.01.2014Page 19 of 91
