TRAINING M ANUAL– L ANCAIR IV/IVPINTRODUCTIONThis Lancair IV/ IVP training manual is adapted from Charlie Kohler’s PilotTraining Manual published in 2001. The material contained herein is designed totransition a current, proficient and qualified certificated pilot into the Lancair IVand IVP amateur built experimental series aircraft when combined with thecompanion flight training syllabus. This manual covers a variety of topics relatedto high altitude, high performance single pilot, single engine flying, including:weather, aerodynamics, aircraft performance, physiology, navigation, andLancair aircraft systems.This manual does not cover every conceivable and inconceivableinstrument or radio installation or engine or airframe modification. For example,early serial number Lancair IV’s and IVP aircraft were equipped by owner/builders with steam gauge cockpits whereas today most are finished with EFIScockpits. Many modifications to the basic airframe have also occurred both withbuilders and at the factory. Some of those items are discussed here but manyare not.While this manual covers many technical aspects of flying the Lancair IVand IVP at high altitude, it does not ignore the most important and most often theweakest link in airplane—the pilot. Flying is an extremely hazardous activity. Therisk of flight can be managed to an acceptable level if the pilot is willing to investthe time, effort and financial resources to stay proficient. Like any other extremesport, flying demands continuous study, training, practice and review. This isespecially true of flying aircraft like the Lancair IV and IVP.‐ 3 – © Copyright 2007 LOBOMay not be copied without permission. |
