baggage area<br />
<strong>ALPHA</strong> <strong>Trainer</strong><br />
1040 lbs (472.5 kg)<br />
121 lbs (55 kg)<br />
55 lbs (25 kg) absolute limit. Always verify<br />
baggage allowance with a Centre of<br />
Gravity calculation.<br />
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'' mm (368mm) backwards<br />
of the datum. Datum is is wing's leading edge at fuselage root.
