WARNING! MTOM must be kept at or below 1040 lbs (472.5 kg). Pay special attention to luggage<br />
and fuel weight, as these are the applicable masses on the airframe that have an influence<br />
on centre of gravity. Exceeding baggage weight limits can shift aircraft’s balance to the point<br />
when the flight becomes uncontrollable! More information on baggage allowance can be found<br />
in chapter “Weight and Balance”.<br />
Centre of gravity range<br />
• Aircraft's safe centre of gravity position ranges between 20% and 38% of mean aerodynamic<br />
chord.<br />
• Centre of gravity point ranges between 7.7'' (195 mm) and 14.5'' (368 mm) backwards<br />
of the datum. Datum is is wing's leading edge at fuselage root.<br />
G-load factors<br />
max. positive wing load:<br />
max. negative wing load:<br />
+ 4 G<br />
– 2 G<br />
All parts have been tested to a safety factor of a minimum 1.875, meaning they were subjected to at<br />
least a load of 7.5 G
