The EPSILON aircraft is equipped with an "AVCO LYCOMING" piston engine type AEI0-540 L1B5D rated at
300 HP (224 kW) at 2700 tr/min.
The "HARTZELL" metallic propeller is of pitch-regulated constant-speed type. It is a direct drive propeller and
turns clockwise (figure page 1/24).
1 ENGINE
The engine is a six-cylinder, horizontally opposed, air-cooled model.
Its characteristics are :
- Power (takeoff and max continuous)..........................................................300 HP at 2700 tr/min
(cruise at 75 %) .............................................................................225 HP at 2450 tr/min
(cruise at 60 %) .............................................................................180 HP at 2350 tr/min
- Cubic capacity .............................................................................. 540 cubic inches (8.87 litres)
- Compression ratio............................................................................................................... 8.7
A. GENERAL
Combustion is ensured by a "BENDIX" injection system (refer to COMBUSTION).
Ignition is performed by a "BENDIX" dual magneto (refer to IGNITION).
The engine is of classic design. The static-balanced crankshaft is also dynamic-balanced by
means of counterweights. This crankshaft is mounted on four plain bearings.
Distribution is ensured by:
- A camshaft;
- Hydraulic pushers;
- Rocker arms and their rods;
- V-valves (two per cylinder).
Air, which is picked up at the rear of the propeller, is directed under the cowl by baffles and
ensures cylinders and oil cooling.

UCE122
Air intake
Air intake is ensured by:
- A box equipped with a flap, which may close up cool air inlet to let in hot air from the engine,
in order to avoid icing risk of injection unit. This hot air is not filtered.
The flap is controlled by the "AIR SECOURS MOTEUR" lever.
CAUTION
FULLY PUSH LOCKING CENTRAL KNOB BEFORE PULLING
LEVER
- A nozzle containing the automatic mixture control (AMC) and the throttle valve.
The mixture automatic valve includes a needle controlled by an aneroid, which schedules
fuel flow according to atmospheric pressure and temperature. It is intended to set mixture
permanently depending on ambient conditions, what relieves the pilot from this adjustment.
The mixture delivered in full forward position is near the best power one (EGT peak – 70°C).
- A collector, which supplies each cylinder through a manifold.
Fuel metering - regulation
Fuel metering – regulation system allows to adjust manually mixture, when operation with a
mixture near best power one is not required in some flight cases (economical navigation).
The assembly comprises:
- A fuel inlet provided with a by-pass equipped metallic filter;
- A needle (R) controlled by the mixture control moves in front of a two-port slide valve;
NOTE
IDLE CUT-OFF POSITION OF THE MIXTURE CONTROL CUTS
OFF FUEL INLET.
- A port, which directs pressure-supplied fuel on lower face of the membrane (C).
- Another port, which directs according to mixture control position a fuel measured quantity
towards a slide valve.
- A needle (G) controlled by the throttle lever moves in front of a one-port slide valve and
directs a fuel quantity towards the membrane (C), on ball valve side.
This port corresponds to IDLE position of the throttle lever.
- A ball valve mechanically linked to the two membranes (A) and (C). Membrane (A), "Air"
membrane, takes into account the difference between total pressure and static pressure.
Membrane (C), "Fuel" membrane, receives on one face fuel measured by the throttle and on
the other face fuel scheduled by the mixture control.
These two membranes are intended to ensure REGULATION.
- A two-spring assembly that ensures correct fuel supply in idle range.
- A fuel outlet, towards the divider, controlled by the ball valve.

UCE122
Fuel distribution
A divider associated to six injectors ensures fuel distribution.
The divider located on engine upper part includes:
- A fuel inlet from the ball valve;
- A membrane-valve assembly and its spring;
- Six fuel outlets towards injectors;
- One fuel outlet towards the flowmeter.
The divider is intended to:
- Keep and distribute pressure-supplied fuel with the membrane-valve assembly;
- Ensure a definite fuel supply cut-off at engine shut-off (IDLE CUT-OFF position of mixture
control).
The injectors are of air inlet type. They are located next to inlet valves (one injector per
cylinder). Each injector is provided with a recess where ambient air mixes to fuel, so allowing a
best spraying.
C. IGNITION
Ignition is performed through a "BENDIX" dual magneto, which provides spark plugs with a
high-voltage double ignition (two spark plugs per cylinder). Ignition order is 1.4.5.2.3.6.
A selector, located only at front station on instrument panel strip R.H. side, allows magneto
operation and selection.
An indicator light, located on the alarms panel, indicates to the rear station pilot the magneto
selector position at the front station.
NOTE
THE ILLUMINATION OF "MAGNET SEULE" REAR STATION
YELLOW INDICATOR LIGHT DOES NOT INFORM THE PILOT
ABOUT OPERATIONAL MAGNETO (L.H. MAGNETO OR R.H.
MAGNETO).
D. STARTING
Engine starting is performed thanks to an electrical direct starter. The electric source may be
either the main battery or a ground power unit.
WARNING
"ALIM DEM" WARNING LIGHT – BLINKING. STARTER KNOB

THE MECHANIC
E. ENGINE CONTROLS
Engine controls are gathered on L.H. console of each station. They consist of:
- The throttle lever;
- The propeller lever;

LUBRICATION SYSTEM
1 DESCRIPTION
The lubrication system ensures continuously oil distribution in the engine. Addition of the
"CHRISTEN" system allows lubrication during inverted flight.
Lubrication system includes:
- A gear type oil pump;
- A thermostatic valve;
- A cartridge type filtering element;
- An adjustable pressure relief valve;
- A by-pass;
- An oil pressure transmitter;
- A temperature probe;
- Two series-connected coolers;
- A ball valve ("CHRISTEN" system);
- A ball oil separator ("CHRISTEN" system).
NOTE 1
THE "CHRISTEN" SYSTEM COMPONENTS ARE INSTALLED
ON FIREWALL AND LINKED TO THE ENGINE BY HOSES.
NOTE 2
A METALLIC FILTER LOCATED IN THE HOUSING PROTECTS
THE OIL PUMP.
A door located in upper engine cowl allows access to filling port and to plug-gauge.
2 OPERATION
Lubrication is of wet carter type.
A gear pump sets under pressure oil in the system.
A thermostatic valve is inserted between the pump discharge aperture and the filtering cartridge. At
the beginning most of the oil is directed by the valve straight to the filtering cartridge and the
engine. When oil is hot, it is then directed by the valve to the coolers, which cool it, before it enters
the cartridge and the engine.
If this cartridge is clogged, oil is no more filtered and comes directly into the engine through the by-
pass.
The pressure relief valve setting allows adjusting oil pressure to a given value.

FUEL SYSTEM
A. TANKS
Fuel is contained in 2 tanks located in the wings leading edge (one per half-wing) and in the
feeder tank.
Total quantity is 55 US Gal (210 litres).
The integral tanks are incorporated in wings and are located between ribs 1 and 8 (figure
page 1/7) forward of main spar (on leading edge side).
Their tightness is ensured by interposition of several sealants between mating surfaces and by
internal overlap of sheet metal mating.
Each tank comprises :
- A filling port located in tank upper part, filling being performed by gravity. This port is
equipped with a filter screen held with a snap ring. A sealed plug equipped with a small chain
blanks off filling port. The latter is equipped with a safety valve, which ensures air vent in
case of tank overpressure or negative pressure;
- An air vent circuit from tank high point to each wing lower surface by a Pitot type vent, which
also enables to increase air pressure on contained fuel. These vents are bored rearward to
allow water discharge;
- A roll-over valve at the tip of the tank limits fuel waste through the Pitot type vent during slide
slip or inverted flight;
- Two electrically transmitting gaging dipsticks, one on external side between ribs 6 and 7, the
other on internal side between ribs 1 and 2. The internal dipstick is equipped with a low level
detector. The gauge measuring total volume is 100 litres per tank;
- A drain and bleed valve at low point. It is installed at the wing lower surface between ribs 1
and 2. When pushing on valve, fuel can be discharged;
- A filter screen at system supply port.

UCE122
B. SELECTOR
The fuel selector control is only located on front station R.H. console.
A mechanic device holds it in L.H. or R.H. fixed position according to selection.
Magnetic (white) indicating lights installed on rear instrument panel inform the pilot about the
selection (R.H or L.H.).
When in the middle position, both tanks direct fuel towards feeder tank. However, this position
may lead to transfer incidents and must not be used.
CAUTION
DURING THE MANEUVER OF THE TANK SELECTOR (L.H.–
R.H. OR R.H.–L.H.), THE MAGNETIC REPEATER INDICATING
LIGHTS AND "LOW LEVEL" ALARMS GO OFF
C. "INVERTED FLIGHT" FEEDER TANK
The "inverted flight" feeder tank includes :
- An air vent common to both tanks and equipped with a float valve;
- A fuel inlet end fitting linked to tanks, on which a check valve is mounted;
- A fuel outlet end fitting, on which is mounted a weighted plunger tube;
- A drain and bleed valve at low point.
It contains 0.66 US Gal (2.5 litres).
D. ISOLATING VALVE
After the feeder tank, this valve is immobilized in position "OUVERT" (open) with a locking
wire.
E. DECANTING FILTER
The decanting filter is equipped with an all-metal filter mounted into a bowl and is installed at
the feeder tank outlet.
It is provided with a drain valve, a resetable yellow preclogging indicator and a red clogging
indicator with a by-pass.
F. ELECTRIC PUMP
The electric pump is installed after the decanting filter. It is controlled by the switch located on
front station L.H. console.
G. 140 µ FILTER
Located between the electric pump and the fuel shut-off valve, it protects the engine pump.
1
Page 40
2002-12 Update
UCE122
I. MECHANICAL PUMP
The mechanical pump is of vane-type. It is installed on engine rear part and driven by the
latter.
This pump supplies fuel necessary to the injection system.
NOTE
FUEL HOSES IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT ARE
PROTECTED BY FIREPROOF TUBING.
K. ROLLOVER VALVES
A rollover valve installed in each tank is attached on top of the rib 8. It is equipped with a float
valve and limits fuel waste through the Pitot type air vent, when the aircraft is in inverted flight.
2 OPERATION
Fuel contained in tanks supplies the feeder tank by gravity.
The selector valve installed between the two tanks enables to supply this feeder tank from the L.H.
tank or from the R.H. tank.
At the feeder tank outlet, an isolating valve, secured in open-position, allows fuel to enter the
decanting filter, which protects the electric pump.
This pump is controlled from front station and sets if necessary the system under pressure. A filter
located between the electric pump and the fuel shut-off valve protect the system downstream,
especially the mechanical pump.
The mechanical pump supplies fuel to "BENDIX" injection system through a filter (see figure
page 1/29).
- INVERTED FLIGHT CASE
During inverted flight, the feeder tank is no more supplied. Only its content ensures supplying of
the engine through the weighted plunger tube.
A check valve prevents fuel reversal from feeder tank to tanks. This feeder tank will fill up again
during return to normal flight.
- OPERATIONAL INCIDENT (figure page 1/43)
If the selected tank air vent is obstructed, the pressure balance is ensured in the tank and the
feeder tank by the opening of the filling port emergency air vent valve, thus allowing a normal fuel
supply.
So, whatever the selected tank is, when icing conditions are temporarily encountered, fuel supply
is ensured.

rear station horizon, the VHF/UHF control units, the interphone and the VHF transceiver. It has
a 30-minute charge, five minutes of which for VHF transmission.
The battery operation and cut-off are only performed through the front "HORIZ 1" switch
(dual-function switch).
The emergency battery is equipped with a relay, which distributes to aircraft mains the current
supplied by normal DC generation. In case of failure of this generation, the relay switches
automatically to the emergency battery, which then supplies the front station horizon No. 1, the
rear station horizon, the VHF/UHF control units, the interphone and the VHF transceiver
(illumination of the "BATT SEC" yellow indicator lights at both stations).
On front station alarms panel, a "TEST" push-button switches on the "BATT SEC TEST" green
indicator light, what means that the battery is correctly loaded (through aircraft normal
generation in a few minutes).
NOTE
AFTER HAVING CUT OFF MAIN SWITCH, MAKE SURE THAT

A. AILERONS
Of all-metal design (light alloy), the ailerons are statically overbalanced (110 %) by integrated
balance weights. They are hinged on three bearings attached to the small spar rear face of
each half-wing.
The aileron is controlled from the central bearing through an elastic linkage device called
"spring tab".
1
Page 58
24-06-83
UCE122
Operation
On ground, the aileron/tab assembly operates as a single control surface.
When speed increases, air resistance increases on control surface. The pilot action distorts
the torsion bar, which causes tab deflection in the direction opposite to the one wanted for the
control surface. The aerodynamic force, which is then exerted on tab, deflects the control
surface in the desired direction.
The pilot force is then practically independent from the aircraft speed thanks to the tab
aerodynamic assistance.

A. RUDDER
The design of this control surface is the same as that of the elevator.
It is hinged on two bearings, which are interdependent with the fin spar. The rudder control is
performed at the level of the lower bearing.
The static balance (100 %) is performed with compensating scissors located in the upper part
and with weights located in the leading edge.
A threshold double-acting cylinder, which is interdependent with the rudder control, ensures a
return to neutral position of the rudder.
The aerodynamic neutral position is ensured by a trim edge installed on the trailing edge lower

RADIO-NAVIGATION
The radio-navigation instruments enable to know the aircraft position with regard to ground installations
(figures pages 1/89-92).
They are:
- The RMI, which gives:
• The aircraft magnetic heading,
• The VOR and TACAN QDM.
- The OBI course indicator, which gives:
• On one hand, in VOR or TACAN function, the variation between the displayed QDM and the measured
VOR or TACAN QDM, on the other hand the advance direction with regard to these ground stations,
• In ILS function, the correction to be performed concerning area and azimuth.
This indication is directional.
- The DME, which gives:
• The distance from the TACAN station;
- The marker panel, which gives:
• The vertical transition by illuminating indicator lights and by aural reception of the signals transmitted by
the "MARKER" beacons.
The required data come from the following systems:
- Heading gyromagnetic compass, which provides with the stabilized reference of the magnetic North;
- VOR/ILS receiver, which provides with the measurement of the radio-electric waves transmitted by the
VOR or ILS ground aids;
- TACAN transceiver, which asks the automatic-answer ground stations for azimuth and TACAN distance;
- Marker receivers, which provide with the measurement of the radio-electric waves transmitted by the
marker beacons.

A. DESCRIPTION
This assembly is composed of:
- A gyromagnetic compass,
- A flux valve,
- A synchronization galvanometer,
- A quick reset knob,
- A "GYRO" switch.
1
Page 92
24-06-83
UCE122
Gyromagnetic compass
It elaborates a stabilized heading reference, called "directional" or "gyromagnetic".
The gyromagnetic compass is installed in the electronics compartment.
It consists of a single box divided in three parts, which are:
- A gyroscopic part including a gyro rotor installed in an horizontal-axis site gimbal and a
vertical-axis azimuth gimbal.
The site gimbal is held in horizontal position through gyroscopic precession by a torque
motor controlled by an optoelectronic slaving.
The azimuth gimbal is reset on magnetic North by a similar slaving controlled by the flux
valve.
- An electronics part,
- A machine-synchro part.
It distributes the elaborated heading through two separate outlets:
- To the RMI (FWD) and TACAN system;
- To the RMI (RWD) and VOR/ILS system.
Flux valve
The flux valve is installed inside the L.H. wing.
This instrument detects the horizontal component of the earth's magnetic field and transmits it
to the gyromagnetic compass.
Synchronization galvanometer
The synchronization indicator is located on the front station instrument panel.
It indicates the variation between the gyromagnetic heading data and that of the flux valve.
Quick reset knob
The knob is installed on the front station instrument panel.
A press on the push-knob enables the quick reset.
The alarm flag appears then on the RMI.
"GYRO" switch
The "GYRO" switch is located on the front station R.H. console (refer to ALTERNATING
GENERATION).
B. OPERATION
The gyromagnetic compass is supplied with alternating current of 115 and 26 V/400 Hz by the
static converter.
At energization, the gyro has no precise position. The elaborated heading is not synchronized
with the magnetic heading.
The site gimbal positions itself in the horizontal plane and the azimuth slaving is slow
(3°/minute).
Fifteen minutes after the starting and as long as the synchronization deviation is greater than
5°, the azimuth slaving is supplied in quick reset (85°/minute).
1
Page 93
2004-08 Update
UCE122
When the deviation becomes lower than or equal to 4°, the quick slaving changes into slow
slaving.
When the gyromagnetic compass is tuned, the alarm flag disappears on RMIs.
The tuning lasts about 1 minute.
A. VOR/ILS RECEIVER
The VOR/ILS receiver is installed in the electronics compartment.
It works in the range of frequencies from 108 to 117.95 MHz with a channel separation of
50 KHz (200 channels).
The VOR/ILS distinction is made with regard to the frequency.
The receiver detects the azimuth and site signal (ILS function) of the ground station.
In output, the signal is applied to:
- The RMIs (VOR function);
- On interphone assembly, which relays at 1000 Hz the position call sign;
- On course deviation (OBI);
- On TO-FROM indicator (OBI) (VOR function).
NOTE
THE INFORMATION LOSS OR THE RECEPTION FAILURE IS
INDICATED BY THE OBI ALARM FLAGS.
B. CONTROL UNITS
A VOR/TACAN control unit is installed on the instrument panel of each pilot station. The
control unit L.H. part includes controls relating to the VOR/ILS assembly:
- A concentric knob enables with the first crown to start the receiver, and with the second
crown the lighting and the digit test
- Two concentric control knobs display the frequencies in tens, unit, tenth and hundredth of
MHz;
- A window shows the selected frequency;
- A test control enables a VOR/ILS operation simulation (call sign, course to the left and to the
right, and so on);
- A blue indicator light located on central instrument panels and supplied at front and rear
stations comes on after the ILS frequency has been displayed. The localizer is then
operating whatever the position of the VOR/TAC selector may be.
NOTE 1
THE "TEST" FUNCTION CAN BE ACTIVATED ONLY FROM THE
FRONT COCKPIT.
NOTE 2
ONLY ONE VOR CONTROL UNIT OPERATES AT ONCE. ITS
STARTING IS OBTAINED BY PRESSING ON THE
"TRANSFERT" PUSH-KNOB OF THE CONCERNED COCKPIT,
WHAT CAUSES ILLUMINATION OF THE CORRESPONDING
GREEN INDICATOR LIGHT. THE CONTROL LOSS WILL BE
INDICATED BY THE EXTINGUISHING OF THIS INDICATOR
LIGHT.

D. VOR/TACAN SELECTOR
A VOR/TACAN selector is installed on the instrument panel of each pilot station.
It enables to display VOR or TACAN information on the corresponding OBI.
NOTE
THE ILS FREQUENCY DISPLAY LEADS TO A LOC
INFORMATION, WHICH HAS PRIORITY ON THE OBI,
WHATEVER THE SELECTOR POSITION MAY BE.
E. VOR/ILS ANTENNA
The VOR/ILS antenna consists of two elements attached on both sides of the fin. It supplies
via a phase coupler the RF signal to the VOR/ILS receiver.
A. TRANSCEIVER
The TACAN transceiver is installed in the electronics compartment.
The assembly has 126 X channels and 126 Y channels to which UHF frequencies are
allocated and defined in the range of 962 MHz to 1213 MHz for questions and answers.
The TACAN information is distributed to:
- The RMIs;
- The interphone assembly, which relays the station call sign (1350 Hz);
- The DMEs;
- The VOR/TACAN switching unit.
To avoid interferences between TACAN and transponder, when one of these systems
transmits, a cancelling pulse inhibits the second one.
The transceiver is provided with an integrated test, which is started from the control unit.
B. CONTROL UNIT
A VOR/TACAN control unit is installed on the instrument panel of each pilot station.
The unit R.H. part includes controls relating to the TACAN assembly:
- A selector with two concentric crowns:
.The 3-position external crown allows according the position:
"A" : stopping of the transceiver,
"REC" : operation only in reception (radial),
"TR" : operation in transmission-reception (radial and DME).
1
Page 97
24-06-83
UCE122
.The internal crown allows display of the hundredth digit of the channel;
- A knob with two concentric crowns, which allows display of the unit and tens digit of the
channel;
- A "Mode" knob, which allows display of "X" or "Y" channels;
- A window indicating the selected channel;
- A test control, which allows:
.A reading of 888.8 NM on the distance indicator,
.A 0° bearing on the RMIs and OBIs.
NOTE
THE "TEST" FUNCTION IS ONLY ACTIVATED FROM THE
FRONT PILOT STATION.
- A transfer control, which allows switching from the front or rear station.
NOTE
ONLY ONE CONTROL UNIT IS OPERATING AT ONCE (REFER
TO PARAGRAPH 3B NOTE 2).
E. TACAN ANTENNA
The antenna is installed under the fuselage. It works in the L band (frequency from 950 to
1260 MHz) during transmission and during reception.
A. MARKER PANELS
The MARKER panels are installed at each station on the central instrument panels and
include the blue (outer marker) and amber (middle marker) indicator lights.
A "TEST" push-knob allows listening successively the 400 Hz (blue indicator light illumination),
1300 Hz (amber indicator light illumination) and 3000 Hz signals, if the aircraft is equipped with
the MARKER receiver.
The adjustment of the reception sensitivity and the reception level cannot be managed by the
pilot. On the aircraft WITH MODIFICATION S102 (NMR 65 and following ones) a switch
located at front station allows cut-off of markers reception. The latter is only operating if the
switch is set to ON position (upper position).
1
Page 98
01-07-86
UCE122
B. MARKER RECEIVER
If the aircraft is equipped with a MARKER receiver, the latter is installed in the electronics
compartment. It receives the MARKER beacons transmissions and relays them visually to the
MARKER panels and through aural indications to the headsets without having the possibility to
adjust the reception level. It works in the VHF frequency range.
C. MARKER ANTENNA
The MARKER antenna is located under the fuselage and shifted to the left.
It transmits to the MARKER receiver the signals received from the ground beacons.
A. TRANSPONDER
The transponder is installed on the front station instrument panel strip.
This equipment is not connected to a control unit, as its front face serves the function.
The assembly operates in connection with the encoding altimeter (front station) and the
TACAN (converse desensitization).
The number of answer codes is 4096 in "A" mode + 1 identification code.
The transponder receives inquiries from the ground identification system ("A" or "C" mode),
decodes them and answers them.
The coded answers are as follows:
- "A" mode (to ON position);
- "A" and "C" modes by switching the "ALT" function;
- "A" mode set to "IDENT"
Particular circuits ensure:
- The cancellation of incorrect impulses and inquiries,
- The limitation of the number of the answers for a too high inquiry number.
- The correct operation test in self-test.
To avoid converse interferences, a desensitization impulse (pulse cancellation) is directed to
the TACAN transceiver during the transponder transmission or received by the transponder,
when the TACAN transmits.
The transponder front face presents:
- A starting and mode selection knob:
."OFF" : Stop
."SBY" : This is a stand-by position (the transponder is energized, but not operating)
."ON" : Position selected after display of the required identification code
."ALT" : Position switched on ground control request. This position enables to
transmit the identification code and the aircraft altitude.
- Four knobs to display the code;
- A display window for the code;
- A switch with return device to middle position:
."TEST" : check of power supplies
."IDENT" : use only on ground control request
- "TEST" indicator light, which comes on when the transponder is operating in "NORM" or
"IDENT".

STALLS
During deceleration before stall, the aircraft stays perfectly correct whatever the configuration.
There is no natural warning sign.
Only the aural warning rings, 7 kt ± 2 kt above stall speed.
The longitudinal roll-off is clean and accompanied more often than not by a lateral roll-off. Their
amplitude increases with engine power and lift augmenting.
The recovery is immediate by control return.
The altitude loss during stall is slight.
NOTE
ROLL-OFFS UP TO 90° LATERAL BANK MAY OCCUR
PARTICULARLY FROM A MOTORIZED TURN STALL WITH
FLAPS TO 25°.
VOLUNTARY SPINS
Only spins in clean configuration with reduced engine are authorized.
Preparation to spin :
- Bags and map boxes closed.
- No floating objects in cabin.
- Minimum height (4 turns max) .........................................................................................8000 ft
- Safety turn............................................................................................................... Performed
- Throttle lever.......................................................................................................................Idle
- L/G – flaps................................................................................................................ Retracted
- Trims..................................................................................................Adjusted for IAS = 100 kt
- Deceleration.
Spinning (in the direction of safety turn)
At IAS = 75 kt, fully move simultaneously rudder in the direction of the spin, elevator to nose up
stop and keep roll control to neutral position.
Spin :
- Spin oscillates on the three axis.
- The nose down attitude increases quickly to reach about 50°.
- The turn lasts between 2 and 3 seconds with two pilots and less with one pilot onboard.
- The altitude loss is about 350 ft every turn.
- IAS changes from about 110 to 140 kt in accordance with spin particularities.
NOTE 1
SPINS ARE LIMITED TO 4 TURNS MAXIMUM BECAUSE THE OIL PRESSURE
DROPS QUICKLY PARTICULARLY DURING RIGHT SPIN. THE “BAS NIVEAU”
WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATION IS NORMAL DURING SPIN.
NOTE 2
IF SPEED AND ENGINE RPM INCREASE RAPIDLY, THE AIRCRAFT IS NOT IN SPIN
BUT IN SPIRAL. CONTROL SPIN RECOVERY BEFORE 160 kt.

The spin recovery takes a maximum of one turn and a half and usually follows a roll acceleration.
The attitude is then high nose down. The slowest the spin is, the longest the recovery.
As soon as spinning stops, move rudder to neutral position and ease out of the ensuing dive (500
to 1500 ft according to action on elevator).
CAUTION
IF THERE IS ANY DOUBT ABOUT THE SPIN (VENTRAL,
INVERTED, ROTATION DIRECTION), CLEARLY RELEASE
CONTROLS AND FULLY REDUCE THROTTLE, THE AIRCRAFT
WILL RECOVER ALONE IN ABOUT TWO OR FOUR TURNS.
WARNING
AIRCRAFT UNCONTROLLED AT 5000 ft FROM GROUND,
ESCAPE IN FLIGHT.
ACROBATICS
Speeds and load factors indicated hereafter are initial values recommended to execute acrobatic
figures at an altitude between 4000 and 6000 ft, with full throttle engine, engine speed at
2500 tr/mn and full forward mixture.
- Loop : IAS = 200 kt, n = 4 g
- Split S : IAS = 180 kt, n = 3 g
- Cuban Eight : IAS = 200 kt, n = 4 g
- Stall turn : IAS = 200 kt, n = 4 g
- Slow roll : IAS = 170 kt
- Snap figures : FORBIDDEN
FORMATION FLIGHT
Formation flight with EPSILON presents no particular difficulty.
The engine responds quickly. Flight controls are precise and, considering the great efficiency of
rudder control, great amplitude deflections must be avoided to control side-slip. Do not connect the
anti-collision lights.
Display 2700 tr/mn to use power higher than 75 %.
BLIND FLIGHT
On ground, pay particular attention to checks concerning flight and navigation control instruments.
In flight, often check the consistency of attitude indicators, voltmeter and outside air temperature
indicator (icing).
Anti-collision lights may be troublesome in clouds.
NIGHT FLIGHT
It is recommended not to illuminate anti-collision lights during taxi.

TURBULENCE FLIGHT
Max. IAS in severe turbulence: 150 kt.
If entering a very strong turbulence area cannot be avoided, take the following precautions:
- Reduce speed to 150 kt;
- Check harnesses are tightened and blocked;
- Check pitot heating is set to “marche”;
- Pilot smoothly by favouring attitude rather than flight parameters.
CAUTION
ON GRASS RUNWAY, TAKEOFF DISTANCE IS INCREASED

PERFORMANCE
PERFORMANCE PRESENTATION
The illustration on page 7/7 allows, from the calibrated airspeed CAS, static temperature θs and
pressure altitude Zp, determination of the aerodynamic speed V (true airspeed).
Air data corrections relative to EPSILON are practically nil (illustration on page 7/9).
STALL SPEEDS
The stall speeds indicated on illustration of page 7/11 are statutory stall speeds (Vs) determined
with reduced power, with forward C.G. limit and deceleration rate of 1 kt/s. They are given
depending on weight, aircraft configuration and pitch attitude.
TAKEOFF PERFORMANCE
Takeoff is performed full throttle, full low pitch, full rich, in flaps configuration 15°.
The initial parameters to establish performance are:
- Outside conditions: QFE and air temperature;
- Aircraft weight;
- Wind speed on runway centerline;
- Runway average slope.
The illustration on page 7/13 gives:
- Ground roll length;
- Takeoff distance to 50 ft obstacle clearance;
- Rotation calibrated airspeed, takeoff and obstacle clearance speed.
The used procedure is the following:
- Full throttle, brakes applied;
- Rotation and obstacle clearance to speeds indicated on graph shown on the same figure,
depending on weights;
- Starting of L/G retraction as soon as the vertical speed indicator gives a clearly positive value;
- L/G retraction duration: 9 seconds
NOTE
ACCELERATION/STOP DISTANCE IS 600 m.

CLIMB PERFORMANCE
Climbs are performed full throttle, full low pitch, full rich, with nil slope and side-slip, for a
CAS = 110 kt and in clean configuration.
The initial parameters are:
- Aircraft weight;
- Beginning of climb pressure altitude;
- End of climb pressure altitude.
The illustration on page 7/15 gives:
- Time, distance and consumption in standard atmosphere;
- The possibility to correct these results depending on deviation from standard air temperature.
CRUISE PERFORMANCE
Cruise performance (speed, consumption, distance, time) are given for two associated settings:
power (MaP, N) and mixture.
Performance curves: 75 % normal cruise (illustration on page 7/17)
Power: 75 % (2450 tr/mn, adapted MaP).
Mixture: best power (EGT peak – 70 °C);
The setting given by the automatic mixture control is close to this EGT value.
The curve is calculated for an accurate setting. In order to observe the calculated consumption, a
slight setting of the mixture lever may be necessary.
Performance curves: 60 % economic cruise (illustration on page 7/19)
Power: 60 % (2350 tr/mn, adapted MaP);
Mixture: manually set to EGT peak.
CAUTION
MIXTURE SETTING BEYOND EGT PEAK IS FORBIDDEN.
Mixture setting
In cruise, the pilot may set the mixture to improve his aircraft distance/consumption if the following
conditions are met:
- Displayed power ≤ 75 %.
- Cruise stabilized and constant Z.
NOTE
FOR A GIVEN SETTING (N, MaP), A MIXTURE DECREASE
COMPARED WITH THE BEST POWER ONE (EGT PEAK – 70 °C,
CLOSE TO AUTOMATIC SETTING) DECREASES THE POWER
ACTUALLY DELIVERED BY THE ENGINE.

PRINCIPLE
With constant N and MaP, at constant Z the pilot weakens the mixture with mixture lever.
The EGT indicator gives an exhaust gas temperature directly bound with the inlet mixture.
The mixture lever controls fuel supply.
The EGT is taken at exhaust gas outlet.
There is a great inertia between the lever movement and the EGT temperature modification.
PRACTICES
With constant N, MaP and Z:
- Displayed power ≤ 75 %.
- Note the EGT initial value with the indicator.
- Slowly weaken, by steps to EGT maximum value.
- Note this stabilized value with the indicator.
- Re-enrich to get the desired flow value.
Example: re-enrich to get a flow which exactly gives EGT peak – 70°C to fly depending on curve
parameters (illustration on page 7/17).
NOTE
THE EGT DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BEGINNING OF SETTING
AND PEAK IS ABOUT 70°C TO 110°C. IT DEPENDS AMONG
OTHER THINGS ON ENGINE MECHANICAL SETTING AND
MIXTURE AUTOMATIC CORRECTION.
AT EGT PEAK – 70°C THE POWER LEVER IS SET TO FULL
FORWARD POSITION.
An EGT difference lower than 70°C, with mixture lever set to full forward position, may be the sign
of a mixture automatic correction bad operation or a bad engine setting.
CAUTION
PRIOR TO ANY CHANGE IN FLIGHT PARAMETERS N, MaP, Z ,
SET THE MIXTURE LEVER TO FULL FORWARD POSITION.
ADVICE
Avoid the utilization of maximum lean setting (EGT peak) in normal flight.
