Aircraft Operating Parameters

Maximum operating altitude varies by aircraft model; check specific aircraft documentation for details.
Minimum temperature for ground operations after prolonged cold soak is typically around -30°C (-22°F), depending on model specifications.
Maximum Landing Gear Extended Speed (VLE) is generally set at 250 knots.
Maneuvering Speed (VA) varies by weight and should be referenced in operational specifications.

Minimum Control Speed with Flaps 20 (VS0) is generally around 80 knots, but vary by model.
Dual IRS Only Navigation system meets aircraft qualification criteria for approximately 14 hours.
Prior to flying with GNSS systems, verification of operational status and signal integrity is essential.

Occupancy and Operations Limits

Maximum number of occupants allowed with an approved cabin interior typically capped at 19.
Maximum number of passengers for the same configuration is commonly set at 10.
Maximum approved slopes for takeoff and landing operations differ per aircraft; refer to operational limits.
Maximum tailwind component for takeoff and landing is often restricted to 10 knots, with variations for specific models.

Crosswind and Ground Operations

Maximum crosswind component approved for takeoff and landing of 25 knots is applicable at an airport field elevation around 3,200 feet.
Maximum required speed for operation with the yaw damper inoperative is generally limited to 250 knots.
Turbulence penetration speed should not exceed 240 KCAS at altitudes above 10,000 feet.

Technical Operating Limits

Maximum tire ground speed is usually around 165 knots.
In specific flight control law modes, speed must not exceed 285 KCAS or 0.90 Mach.
Maximum fuel imbalance for takeoff varies but is often set around 200 pounds per wing.
