Re: Chipmunk Pilot's Notes & Flight Reference Cards
Yes, much good gen there, but...
Only the two remaining UK military Chipmunks are flown to such docs, and then to the current issue of same. Do this on test with a civil example, as one individualist at least has done in recent times, and you will certainly bust the applicable VNE and give the engine a harder time than necessary.
Civil Chipmunks, whether C of A or Permit, are to be operated in accordance with their individually-issued Flight Manual. The generic template for UK civil certification of an ex-military Chipmunk T Mk 10 or T Mk 20 refers: https://cwsprduksumbraco.blob.core.wind ... 000406.pdf
For what can happen if neither Chipmunk instructors nor pupils avail themselves of the good books, here is a classic example of its kind: http://www.atsb.gov.au/media/5768080/ao ... report.pdf
