Water ballast system
General
The water ballast system allows the weight of the aircraft to be increased
to a maximum of 525 kg (1157 lbs) in the 15 m configuration and to
600 kg (1323 lbs) in the 18 m configuration. The water tanks are integral
to the wings. Each inboard wing tank holds approximately 78 litres of
water. Each 18 m wingtip holds approximately 17 litres of water. The 15
m outboard wings have no integral water tanks.
There are two tail tanks to enable the pilot to set the optimum CG position
for flight:
•
The expendable ballast tail tank is positioned in the front area of
the vertical fin with a capacity of approximately 5.8 litres.
•
The non-expendable ballast tail tank is positioned in the rear
area of the vertical fin and has a capacity of approximately
8.9 litres. This tank is used to optimize the un-ballasted CG
position. (The non-expendable ballast tank is divided into two
tanks from SN 80.)
The water in the non-expendable ballast tank can be drained after flight
by removing the tape over the holes on the left-hand side of the fin.
The dump valve control is situated on the right-hand side of the cockpit.
Pushing the lever forward opens both the wing tank valves and the
expendable tail tank valve.
Moving the dump valve control in the full forward position opens also
the 18m outboard wing tank valves.
