be dry, clean and in calm conditions for accurate weighing. The empty weight must be recorded below and
on the main cockpit placard after each weighing. The aeroplane empty weight must under no circumstances
exceed 240kg (528lbs).

FUEL LOADS – QUIK
The fuel tank is 65 litres capacity, including 1.6 litres unuseable, giving 63.4 litres useable. The weight of
the fuel is 0.718 x 65 = 46.7 kg (102lb). The fuel load limitations for the range of allowable cockpit loads and
aircraft empty weights are placarded in the cockpit as follows:
EMPTY WEIGHT
COCKPIT LOAD
MAX FUEL LEVEL
205kg (451lbs)
Up to 157kg (345lbs)
65 litres (full)
205kg (451lbs)
200kg (440lbs) - max. load
5 litres
220kg (484lbs) - max. empty weight
172kg (379lbs)
23 litres (1/3 full)
220kg (484lbs) - max. empty weight
Up to 142kg (312lbs)
65 litres (full)
Example loading problem:
Aircraft empty weight:
202kg (445lbs)
Pilot 1:
90kg (198lbs)
Pilot 2:
90kg (198lbs)
Total:
382kg (841lbs)
Max AUW = 409kg, therefore (409 - 382)kg = 27kg or (900 - 841)lbs = 59lbs
