• Typical empty 373.0 kg at 450.8 mm is the weighing printed in this copy's Supplement No. 02 (S/N P1001085, p.3 of 16). Enter your aircraft's own from its weighing report.
• No CG envelope chart is printed; the manual gives only a constant operating C.G. range of 405 to 570 mm (15.94 to 22.44 in), 27-38% MAC. The envelope is drawn as a rectangle; its lower mass bound (345 kg, the minimum-equipment empty weight) is not a printed limit.
• Units used are kg/mm/L; the manual also gives lb/in (seats 27.56 in, baggage A 51.58 in, baggage B 70.87 in, wing lockers 23.62 in, fuel 7.09 in).
• Max baggage in rear fuselage (compartments A+B combined) is 18 kg (40 lb). Wing lockers are 20 kg (44 lb) each, 40 kg (88 lb) together.
• Fuel: 114 L / 30.1 USG = 82.1 kg at max. Max fuel weight is 82 kg. The density of 0.72 kg/L is derived from the manual's 82.1 kg = 114 L figure. Usable fuel is not stated on these pages.
• Most forward CG is computed with full fuel. Most rearward CG is computed with zero fuel; the 30-minute reserve (14 L / 10.1 kg) is subtracted from MTOW.
• Empty weight with minimum equipment is 345 kg (760 lb), but no arm is given. The empty weight CG range is 420-480 mm. Actual empty weight and CG for S/N P1001085 are in Section 9, Supplement No. 02.
• Minimum crew is 1 pilot in the left seat.
• Nose wheel arm is negative (forward of datum).
• Read from the POH by ZuluCheck and checked by a second reading; verify against your own manual.
