BUSHBY MUSTANG II
AIRCRAFT SPECIFICATIONS AND LIMITATIONS

Mustang II Aircraft flight characteristics are similar to the flight characteristics of other Standard Category aircraft.
Aeronautical skill and knowledge required to obtain FAA issued Private Pilot class license is sufficient, and required, for the operation of Mustang II aircraft. Of
particular importance is the effects of temperature, atmospheric pressure, and density altitude on the aircraft’s performance. The pilot must be aware of increased
stall speed as related to angle of bank, “G” forces, and increases of operating weights. Also the increase of turning radius as related to increased airspeed.
Engine operating procedures, conditions, and instrument markings to be in accordance with the engine manufacturer’s operating manual.
Operation of installed equipment, such as alternator, battery, lights, electronic equipment, etc. are to be in accordance with the equipment manufacturer’s manuals
and instructions.
