SECTION 2
Aircraft Operating Instructions Edge XT 582 Cruze
LIMITATIONS
May 2007
Issue 2.0
Page 8
In Australia, when operated at a public aerodrome or on a cross country flight, a compass and reliable
time piece are required. Additional equipment may be required for some overseas operations.
2.6.7 Fuel Limitations
Maximum Usable Fuel
67 litre
17.7 US Gal
Unusable Fuel capacity
3 litre
0.8 US Gal
Sump Capacity
500 mL
0.13 US Gal
Table 7 Section 2. Fuel Limitations
2.6.8 Maximum Passenger Seating Limits
One passenger maximum allowed.
2.6.9 Minimum Pilot Weight
The microlight aircraft must only be flown solo from the front seat
.
Minimum pilot weight flown solo shall
not be below 55 kg. Maximum power at minimum TOW can cause an abrupt climb rate that, if
uncorrected, may cause a wing attitude of greater than the placarded maximum of 45 degrees.
Approximately 2/3 of maximum take off power is considered comfortable for a minimum weight takeoff.
Take off distance will be extended at reduced power.
2.6.10 Other Limitations
Maximum Cross Wind
12 knots
13 mph
Maximum Wind Strength
20 knots
23 mph
Maximum Ambient
Operating Temperature
47 deg C
116 deg F
Table 8 Section2. Other Limitations
No person who is untrained or unqualified in weight shift controlled flight or, who is unfamiliar with the
wing and base combination, should ever attempt to pilot the aircraft unless under professional
instruction.
The effect of light rain on the aircraft can increase the stall speed. It is extremely important to maintain
speeds in excess of the take off and landing safety speeds when the wing is wet. If the aircraft has
been left out in the rain or heavy dew it is necessary to wipe the wing down prior to take off. It is also
recommended that the aircraft be flown solo first to ensure all excess moisture is removed. A chamois
or sponge is recommended to remove the water.
Continued operation in heavy rain is not
recommended due to the abrasive effect of
raindrops on the propeller. Do not use
waterproofing agents on the wing as the
consequent beading of water droplets can
significantly increase the stall speed.
CAUTION
SIGHT GAUGE 10 LITRE GRADUATIONS INDICATE TOTAL FUEL, NOT USABLE FUEL. ZERO
USABLE FUEL IS INDICATED WHEN THE FUEL IS LEVEL WITH THE BOTTOM OF THE SIGHT
GAUGE
CAUTION
MOISTURE ON THE WING CAN INCREASE
STALL SPEED AND SHOULD BE REMOVED
PRIOR TO TAKE OFF.
