Weighing Procedure
The wing should be lifted when assembled by routing a webbing strap around the king post top.
The trike base should be lifted by the suspension point on the top of the mast.
Prior to weighing ensure that all fuel is drained and all baggage is removed from the aircraft. The weight,
if changed due to option fitment should be recorded as a new issue and dated accordingly in section 6.2.
6.3.2
Weight Calculator
The weight calculator has been designed to assist in the calculation of maximum allowable fuel so that
MTOW does not exceed 450kg. The calculator uses the typical empty weight of the microlight as stated
above. Adjustments must be made if the microlight is not the "typical weight" i.e. if additional options are
included.
Instructions
Find the intersection of the pilots weight versus the passenger weight (plus additional weight), this gives
the maximum amount of fuel to be used without exceeding the MTOW.
