circumstances.  In  case  of  sudden  power  loss  or  switching  off  the  engine  pilots 
must be able to make an emergency landing. Flying exclusively on flat areas and 
open countryside without going over the airfield. The aircraft fitted with this kit has 
to fly only in daytime light conditions and visibility (VFR - Visual flight rules -). It is 
prohibited  the  installation  on  vehicles  supported  by  rotary  wing  (as  helicopter, 
autogyro  and  other  aircraft  like  these).  It  is  strictly  prohibited  to  install  it  on 
acrobatics  aircrafts  (inverted  flight,  etc.  ..).  This  kit  is  designed  for  a  possible 
application on aircraft used only under VFR conditions, which have the ability of 
controlled landing even with the engine off or damaged. 

 
Failure to observe these instructions excludes the system manufacturer  from any liability. 

 

For the variety of models, equipments, and types of aircrafts on which you can install the 
Mechanical Fuel Pump FLYGAS  gives 

no warranties

 or documentation about the adaptability of 

this kit on a particular type of engine or vehicle.  
Moreover, FLYGAS gives no warranties regarding the compatibility of this kit with any other parts, 
element or system that can be chosen by the manufacturer / user for the application on the plane. 
 

 

  

FLYGAS recommends you to select and install a proper aircraft instrumentation. 
These tools are not included in the kit. 

 

 
Before each flight be sure that all instruments of motor control are operational and reliable.  
Make sure that they can be reached in case of emergency.  
Before starting the engine with propeller installed, the pilot must ensure that the surrounding area 
is clear of obstacles, people and other vehicles.  
Start  the  engine  with  brakes  and  hand  on  the  throttle  control  and  follow  the  necessary  heating 
time.  
Turn on the engine with propeller installed only in special open places away from people especially 
if they are not employees!  
Prevent  use  by  unauthorized  persons,  inexperienced  people  or  people  who  haven’t  read  and 
understood this manual.  
 

 

Certain  geographical  areas,  altitudes  and  weather  conditions  presents  a  higher 
risk than others. The  Mechanical Fuel  Pump   may require more protection from 
the weather as humidity, dust and sand, or an extra maintenance. 

 
Improper  installation, use of inappropriate electrical connectors and pipe fittings of non-standard 
aircraft, discharge the manufacturer of the kit from any liability. Unauthorized modification plant fuel  
automatically exclude the manufacturer of the kit  from any liability. 

 

 

Replacement  parts  must  be  the  same  authorized  by  FLYGAS  and  described  in 
this  manual;  the  usage  of  non  original  spare  or  used  parts  discharges  the 
manufacturer from any responsibility.

 

 
 

This kit has not been tested for safety and durability standards for the aircraft. All 
the  risks  involved  will  be  borne  by  the  user.  The  added  weight  of  the  kit  varies 
inevitably the centre of gravity and moment of inertia on the three axes aircraft. 
Before you make a good flight it’s necessary to check what that change involves 
and be sure to carry out all the consequent changes. 
 

 

While  refuelling,  protect  the  engine  and  supply  system  from  contamination  and 

exposure
