10.3. EMPTY WEIGHT

Typical empty weights for the Quik are as follows:

912

912 S

206kg

207kg

453lbs

455lbs

Typical empty weights for the Quik GT450 are as follows:

912

912 S

214kg

217kg

470lbs

477lbs

Following  modification,  repair  or  at  any  time  required  by  the  CAA  or  other  Airworthiness  Authority,  the
aeroplane must be weighed so that the composition of useful load can be determined.  The aeroplane must
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).

The  Quik  GT450  912/912S,  registration  mark......................,  engine  type...............................,  has  been
weighed empty, including full oil, electrolyte and unusable fuel:
