Page 81: Go Around (Balked Landing)
FLIGHT MANUAL Section 4 SHARK 600 Normal Procedures NOTE Approach and landing are conventional. Pilots can choose to fly power-on or power-off approaches as appropriate. For a power-on approach, bring throttle to idle at approx 30ft. Maintain a speed of 90-100 km/h (50 – 55 KIAS) until the flare. When flaring at a height of 1-2 ft, bring the aircraft into a nosewheel-high attitude.
Page 82: After Landing
CAUTION The go around procedure poses a significant risk of flap overspeed if power and attitude are not managed accurately. The Shark 600 has a high power to weight ratio; applying full power without raising the nose to the climbing attitude is likely to rapidly and significantly overspeed the flaps with an associated risk of severe damage and loss of control occurring.

Page 89: Propeller & Engine Rpm
SHARK 600 Normal Procedures NOTE The Shark 600 has been carefully designed to comply with the slow speed regimes of the ultralight category as well as to be capable of very high speed cruise and excellent maneuverability. The wing shape/profile and sleek design mean that there is a wide range of pitch attitudes which will be selected in every flight.
Page 90: Flaps
CAUTION The go around procedure poses a significant risk of flap overspeed if power and attitude are not managed accurately. The Shark 600 has a high power to weight ratio; applying full power without raising the nose to the climbing attitude is likely to rapidly and significantly overspeed the flaps with an associated risk of severe damage and loss of control occurring.

Page 109: Weight And Balance
Weight & Balance Introduction To guarantee safety, good performance and predictable flight characteristics it is essential to operate the Shark 600 within the weight and balance envelope. It is pilot’s responsibility to ensure that weight and balance limitations are within limits before every flight. This chapter will explain the pilot the procedures of weighing the aircraft and provide awareness of the correct CG during Flight Operations.
Page 110 Section 6 FLIGHT MANUAL Weight & Balance SHARK 600 CAUTION It is the pilot’s responsibility to check visually that the movable ballast is located in the correct position. WARNING INCORRECT POSITION OF MOVABLE BALLAST CAN LEAD TO CG OUT OF THE APPROVED RANGE AND CAUSE REDUCED STABILITY OR CONTROLABILITY OF THE ARICRAFT.
Page 111 FLIGHT MANUAL Section 6 SHARK 600 Weight & Balance Following principles are used to set proper movable ballast location: There are two positions where the movable weights can be placed; • PILOT ONLY FLIGHT (1 Occupant operations) - if only the pilot is on board, no passenger or heavier load is in the rear seat (less than 15 kg) –...
Page 112 Section 6 FLIGHT MANUAL Weight & Balance SHARK 600 • FLIGHT WITH PASSENGER in the rear seat (2 Occupant operations), or any load heavier than 25 kg placed on the rear seat - movable ballast is placed in the front position - in the pocket on engine cowling, accessible through the lid.
