Take-offs and landings have been demonstrated up to a crosswind component of 36 km/h
(22mph, 20KIAS).
As an additional information the following data is valid for operation of a Cavalon equipped
with an ROTAX 915 iS engine, at a gross mass of 560 kg at an even air strip with short
grass,, and pre-rotation to 300 RPM. Take-off distances are to clear a 15 m obstacle
Take-off roll ......................................................................................90 – 100 m
Take-off distance, HTC prop.....................................................................300 m
Take-off distance, Woodcomp ..................................................................260 m
These distances depend on the aircraft take-off weight and environmental conditions.
Reduced weight reduces take-off distance, and the environmental effects are shown in the
2.2 paragraph. Wet grass or boggy conditions will significantly increase these distances
Landing roll...........................................................................................0 – 20 m
Landing distance ......................................................................................150 m
