Miscellaneous equipment
Removable ballast (optional)
A mounting provision for removable ballast (trim ballast weights) is provided
at the base of the front instrument panel.
A second ballast mounting provision is found on the starboard side of the
front stick mounting frame.
The trim ballast weights (lead plates) are to be secured in place by bolts.
For information on how to alter the minimum front seat load refer to section
6.2.
Oxygen systems
Attachment points for the mounting brackets for oxygen bottles are provided
on the fuselage skin above spar joint on the left and right sides. To prevent
injuries, a hood must be installed covering each valve.
For the installation of oxygen systems, drawings may be obtained from the
manufacturer.
Note: After oxygen systems are installed, it is necessary to re-establish the
empty mass c/g position of the concerned Arcus M to ensure that the
centre of gravity is still within the permitted range.
A List of oxygen regulators, currently approved, is found in the Arcus M
Maintenance Manual.
