Use of the optional wing fold mechanism is detailed in the wing fold
instructions which should be put in Annex F
8. Weight and Balance
8.1 Introduction
So long as it is kept within the placarded operating limits, and no
unapproved modifications have been made since construction
(including the alteration of ballast), the Skyranger Swift can be flown
with any permitted fuel, pilot and passenger weights without falling
outside of its permitted CG limits. However, pilots should be aware
that stick forces and displacements will become lighter with aft CG
(typically a heavy crew and full fuel) and heavier with forward CG
(typically low fuel, light pilot only). Also at aft Cg, the hands off
stability will be reduced. Flying outside of the permitted CG limits at
either extreme is potentially extremely dangerous and should not be
attempted in any circumstance.
8.2 CG Datum
The CG datum and limits are contained in the HADS HM4
8.3 CG moment arms
The moment arms of the seats, fuel tank(s) and other items are shown
in the HADS HM4 and in the Weight and CG report at Annex C.
8.4 Weighing
The aircraft will have been weighed when first built, and must be re-
weighed at intervals as laid down by the BMAA and CAA Weighing
should be carried out by a BMAA 3-axis inspector. A copy of the
W&CG report must be retained in this manual at Annex C. Also at each
weighing, details of the weighing must be entered in the aircraft
logbook. Full instructions on how to weigh a microlight aircraft are
contained in BMAA technical information leaflet TIL 012, and specific
details for the Skyranger Swift in the HADS.
