  • Fuel density 6.7 lb/USG as used in the QRH calculation (Jet fuel/Diesel), not Avgas 6 lb/USG.
  • Fuel tank total capacity not printed on these pages; only 33.6 USG usable given.
  • Front and rear baggage combined must not exceed 120 lb; rear area max 50 lb.
  • Utility category forward limit between 1960 lb (35.0 in) and 2100 lb (36.5 in) assumed linear; QRH states linear variation only for the Normal category.
  • Envelope minimum weight 1500 lb as given in the table.
  • Empty weight 1682.56 lb at 40.7 in is the aircraft-specific basic empty weight for 4X-DBR (updated 18/02/2026); verify against current weighing record.
  • Datum location not stated on these pages.
  • QRH is quick reference only; the approved AFM governs.
  • Read from the POH by ZuluCheck and checked by a second reading; verify against your own manual.

For reference only. The aircraft’s approved flight manual and weighing report are the final authority.
