1 GENERAL
The Aircraft Operating Instructions (AOI) has various sections to comply with the ASTM standard. The
General Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA) format has been adopted and used where
applicable for this weight shift controlled microlight.
The AOI contains information for the XT 912 base coupled with compliant wings. All relevant information
is supplied for current configuration. The operator must ensure that the correct data is referenced for the
particular wing base combination.
1.1 Introduction
This microlight series has been designed and manufactured in accordance with the ASTM designation
2317-M10 Standard Specification for Design of Weight-Shift-Control Aircraft.
As an Australian Company, we are proud of our range of microlight aircraft. Our microlights have been
developed to provide the economy and durability required to meet the exacting demands of our
Australian conditions.
The success of our microlights is based upon a high standard of product quality, innovative design
engineering and exceptional standards of reliability and performance that have been established since
1983.
Regular maintenance is required to keep your microlight in a safe condition. Detailed maintenance
requirements are outlined in the wing and base maintenance manuals. Please reference these manuals
to ensure your microlight is maintained correctly.
In the USA, the FAA registers and administers Light Sport Aircraft.
The AirBorne Team has developed from the long-standing friendship of a group of enthusiasts who share
conviction in the intrinsic advantages of weight shift controlled aircraft. The AirBorne Team is confident
your new microlight will provide you with many years of enjoyable flying, and we wish you and your family
safe and happy flying for the future. The operating procedures outlined in this handbook are the result of
AirBorne’s knowledge and experience gained since 1983.
