After more years & dollars than I care to mention, my Series 5 TD with Lyc
O-235 is scheduled for an airworthiness inspection this weekend. The D.A.R.
said I need to have all the instruments marked to pass. I'm finding most
of the info for the engine instruments, but am sorta hurting for airspeed
markings.
Could anyone out there with the same set up tell me what you are using?
Or, if the information is right in front of me in the manual, could you tell
me where I can find it?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Grant Krueger

140 vne red line top of yellow,120 vno top of green start of yellow, top
of the white flap range 80 and the bottom will be about 44 with that
engine, and the bottom of the green will be about 49 but you will have
to adjust when you do your actual flight testing. It will depend on your
static system more than anything. I think maneuver speed is 109 which I
mark on the airspeed indicator. (all in MPH) I think these are the right
numbers. Jump in if I am wrong.

GRANT,
Congrats and good luck !! I'm sure it will be a great day. The following
is from the current manual.
CAUTION
The airspeed indicator will need to be properly marked for the operating
range for the Kitfox Super Sport. These marks allow the pilot to quickly
verify certain operating parameters in flight. Four colored bands are used
which are described below.
RED LINE - 140 mph. The red mark is called the Never Exceed Speed (VNE).
This airspeed should never be exceeded.
YELLOW ARC - 120 to 139 mph. The yellow band is an airspeed range that
should not be used unless in smooth air and then only with caution.
GREEN ARC - ?? to 119 mph. The green band is the normal airspeed operating
range for the aircraft. The bottom of the green arc represents the airspeed
that the aircraft will stall at under the following conditions: level
flight, idle throttle, no flaps, and at gross weight. This speed must be
determined during flight testing. The top of the green arc is the maximum
structural cruising speed.
WHITE ARC - ?? to 80 mph. The white band is the flap operating airspeed
range for the aircraft. The bottom of the white arc represents the airspeed
that the aircraft will stall at under the following conditions: level
flight, idle throttle, full flaps, and at gross weight. This speed must also
be determined during flight testing. The top of the white arc is the maximum
speed at which the flaps may be used.
Fly Safe !!

FAR Part 23 offers some indication of cockpit markings beyond the "EXPERIMENTAL" and "not certified" stickers required. However, I can't say that FAR part 23 applies to an experimental aircraft so I can't say these markings are mandatory. I think they're a good idea and didn't find any of them onerous. Since you're almost done, (congratulations, by the way,) my present to you is pulling the applicable sections and posting them below. GOOD LUCK!
[img]cid:6.2.1.2.0.20061207082931.02974268(at)pop3.nethere.net.0[/img] top
§ 23.1541 General. [img]cid:6.2.1.2.0.20061207082931.02974268(at)pop3.nethere.net.0[/img] [/b] top
(a) The airplane must contain
(1) The markings and placards specified in §§23.1545 through 23.1567; and
(2) Any additional information, instrument markings, and placards required for the safe operation if it has unusual design, operating, or handling characteristics.
(b) Each marking and placard prescribed in paragraph (a) of this section
(1) Must be displayed in a conspicuous place; and
(2) May not be easily erased, disfigured, or obscured.
(c) For airplanes which are to be certificated in more than one category
(1) The applicant must select one category upon which the placards and markings are to be based; and
(2) The placards and marking information for all categories in which the airplane is to be certificated must be furnished in the Airplane Flight Manual.
