The following weight limits may not be exceeded under no circumstances:
•
Max. T/O Weight
850 kg / 1874 lbs
,
•
Max. Weight of non-supporting parts (GNT)
570 kg / 1257 lbs
,
•
Max. total load, which is cockpit-load plus fuel: 850 kg minus Empty Weight according to valid Weight &
Balance Summary,
•
Max. cockpit-load, which is the sum of both cockpit occupants (incl. parachutes) plus weight of baggage in
baggage compartments:
202 kg / 445 lbs
, but not more than the weight limit stated in the Weight & Balance
Report,
•
max. 180 kg / 397 lbs total for both occupants including parachutes,
•
Max. weight per seat (pilot or copilot, incl. parachute) 110 kg / 243 lbs,
•
max Baggage load in baggage compartments 22 kg / 48.5 lbs, but maximum is also the difference between
max cockpit load and max weight of both occupants (180 kg / 397 lbs).
When loads are below Minimum Loads as stated in the Flight Manual (section 6.2), the difference of
minimum load and actual load must be compensated by ballast. The manufacturer has prepared a fix point
for ballast attachment at the RH rudder pedal support in the most forward position.
NOTE:
Single weights of 3 kg / 6.6 lbs each are available from the manufacturer, to attach in the prescribed
location. Each 3 kg / 6.6 lbs weight is equivalent to 7.5 kg / 16.5 lbs pilot weight at the position of the
seats. For example, if the minimum load is 70 kg / 154 lbs, one block of ballast is required for pilot
weights between 62.5 kg / 138 lbs and 70 kg / 154 lbs and two blocks of ballast are required for pilot
weights between 55 kg / 121 lbs and 62.5 kg / 138 lbs.
