Second condition is not to overpass the maximum total weight of the airplane 450kg.
The observance of this condition is for the airplane to have the attributes and be so save as it
has been approved. The weight of the airplane without the crew responds to the sum of its
weight with no fuel and the weight of the fuel. There is a label in the cabin on left front side
where maximum weight of the crew with various volume of the fuel in the trunk is presented.
Third condition is maximum load of one seat with no more than 90kg.
Remember, usually it is not a problem to take off with overpassing the maximum weight but it
is exactly the problem of landing.
ATTENTION
Maximum weight of 450 kg can not be overpassed in any case!
2.6.2. Pilot´s qualification
TL 96 Star is aerodynamically controlled airplane. The rule UL 1 in head 3 determines the
requirements for qualification of the pilot for this category of airplane.
The requirements can change by time and that´s why get to know the valid wording of this rule
in time when this problem is up to date. In time of pressing this guidebook applies:
-pilot must have the qualification at least of “ pilot of UL aerodynamic controlled”
-if instructor ULLa is on board, the pilot can have the qualification of learner ULLa
-piloting learner ULLa can be on board alone, when he is taken aback by the valid training
program in such part, when he is able to operate independent flights
-to be able to have another person on board with no qualification, it is necessary for the pilot to
have flown at least 50 flight hours on ULL and from this at least 5 flying hours at the type TL
96 Star
2.6.3.Pilot´s place on the plane, age of the crew, using the seat belts
The airplane TL 96 Star is equipped with two pilotages and the ability of seeing the appliances
from both seats is well. Assessing the place of pilot is not a technical question but the law
question. In this sense from the habit we determine the pilot´s seat to the left side.
The age of the pilot is not confined in any way and is derived of the requirements of the
minimum age of the pilot or piloting learner by the rule UL3. The upper limit of the age is given
by the health capability, so the holding of the valid piloting license.
The age of the other person is not determined by any rule LAA, but in the way of minimum age
we can generally consider that the second person of the crew should have the size to be able to
use the seat belts.
On basis of this general requirement with reference to the rule UL1, head 3, article 3.3., it is
necessary in factual case for the pilot to decide if he will accept factual person on board, taking
account on the age, physical and mental ability.
As producers we can not give any recommendation nor any restriction. We lay stress on the
crew to be using the seat belts which are fastened.
