1210 lbs<br />
121 lbs<br />
55 lbs absolute limit. Always verify<br />
baggage allowance with a Centre of<br />
Gravity calculation.<br />
WARNING! MTOM must be kept at or below 1210 lbs. Pay special attention to luggage and<br />
fuel weight, as these are the applicable masses on the airframe that have an influence on centre<br />
of gravity. Exceeding baggage weight limits can shift aircraft’s balance to the point when the<br />
flight becomes uncontrollable! More information on baggage allowance can be found in chapter<br />
“Weight and Balance”.<br />
Centre of gravity range<br />
• Aircraft's safe centre of gravity position ranges between 25% and 38% of mean aerodynamic<br />
chord.<br />
• Centre of gravity point ranges between 10.5'' and 14.5'' mm backwards of the datum.<br />
Datum is is wing's leading edge at fuselage root.<br />
