The above performance figures are based on an airplane weight at 1212 lbs (550 kg), stan-
dard atmospheric conditions, level hard-surfaced dry runways and no wind. They are calculated val-

Noise levels
According to independent testing performed by German LBA-LTF noise regulations the airplanes, the
equivalent exhibited noise measures 55.8 dBa. Noise is measured on the ground when the airplane
overflies at 500 ft at full power, at speed of best climb. Measures have been taken to make the cockpit
exceptionally quiet on the inside as well.
