If your F-105 is capable of doing something inside its flight
envelope, it
is normal operation.

An example of an abnormal operation is the cobra manouver, as the
flight
controls are altered from normal operation.

The operator must disable the control system augmentation in order to
do a
cobra manouver.

The airplane will not do a cobra manouver with the control's
augmentation
on.

How do you define "flight envelope" in context?

I define it the same way as you would an F-18 in "cable actuated
system"
mode.

So, what was the "normal operation" mode of the F-106 flight controls?

By your definition/description of "flight envelope," any maneuver or
regime
an
airplane can enter with any control input, using "normal" control
authority
is a
"normal operation."

Using that definition, any maneuvers prohibited by the Operator's
Handbook or
other limitations would be considered "normal"

Nope, the operator's handbook describes the flight envelope.

But you just told us the flight envelope is described by the airplane's
ability
to perform a maneuver or enter a flight regime using a "normal" control
configuration!

Sure.

The POH is part of the Type Certificate.

Are you claiming the Dash 1 for an F-106 disagrees with a mach 2.3 F-106?
