2.2 Operating weights and loading
Maximum takeoff weight: 472,5 kg (1042 Ib).
Empty weight: must not exceed 306 kg.
Maximum fuel weight: 65 kg (143 Ib) — standard tanks; or 82 kg (181 Ib) — optional tanks.
Maximum baggage weight (in container): 30 kg (66 Ib).
Permissible CG range: 19 to 37 % of wing MAC (mean aerodynamic chord).
The airplane may be flown by 1 or 2 pilots. Total weight of pilots, fuel and baggage may not
exceed the maximum useful load (maximum takeoff weight less actual empty weight).
2.3 Service ceiling
Service ceiling of A-32L with Rotax-912ULS (100 hp) engine is equal to at least 5000 m (16
000 ft).
However A-32L has neither pressurized cockpit nor oxygen equipment and therefore may not
be used for high-altitude flight.
2.4 Maneuvering load factors
Limit load factors for the airplane at gross weight of 472.5 kg (1040 Ib) are as follows:
Maximum positive limit load 4.0
Maximum negative limit load factor -2.0
2.5 Approved maneuvers
A-32L airplane belongs to a non-aerobatic category. All maneuvers shall be done within its
airspeed and maneuvering load factor limits (G limits). Approved maneuvers include:
- turns with bank angles up to 60°,
- side-slipping with angles up to 15°,
−
level and accelerated stalls without spinning,
−
diving at a speed below VNE of 230 km/h (143 mph, 124 kts) IAS.
Any aerobatics including intentional spinning is prohibited!
