This table is specific to the aeroplane to which this POH applies.
Procedure for weighing the aircraft are contained in the Maintenance Manual for the
EV-97 EuroStar SL Microlight.
The Basic Empty Weight (BEW) or Zero Fuel Weight (ZFW) is weight is the empty
weight of the aircraft with:
•
Required equipment fitted;
•
Unusable fuel only;
•
Full engine oil, engine coolant, and hydraulic fluid;
•
Fixed ballast.
The weight of non
‐
required, or optional, equipment may be excluded from the Basic
empty weight of an aircraft. The distinction between Required and Optional
equipment is clarified below.
Optional equipment is equipment that can be physically removed and whose removal
does not make the aircraft un
‐
airworthy. To be airworthy the aircraft must be in an
approved design configuration and able to be safely flown with the equipment
removed. Equipment that can be removed but must be replaced with something else
for the aircraft to remain airworthy is not normally considered optional equipment.
