6 WEIGHT BALANCE AND EQUIPMENT
6.1 General
This aircraft must only be flown solo from the front seat. All aircraft operations may be carried out whilst
solo, as when the aircraft is flown dual.
The fuel capacity must always be considered when measuring the All Up Weight (AUW) of the aircraft.
Remember that fuel is measured at 0.7 kg per litre and fuel quantity will alter the aircraft’s performance
during take off and landing. A fuel weight information can be found in section 6.3.
6.2 Aircraft Weight
The table in section 6.2.1 shows the weight of the aircraft as weighed during final Quality Assurance at
the factory. The following page shows, if applicable, the options that were included when the aircraft was
weighed. The empty weight shown below can also be found on the limitations placard on the aircraft dash
panel. A second issue section is included which allows the weight to be revised if any additional
equipment is installed or if the empty weight of the aircraft changes for any reason. If the empty weight
has changed then revised placards are available from Airborne.
