Warning: When flying solo the ballast box must be emptied, except see section
6.8.7.2! Otherwise you will fly with a dangerous C.G. position.
If the ballast box is filled up, the min. cockpit load in the front seat is raised by
35 kg (77 lbs.).
The resulting value (min. cockpit load in front seat from weighing without
ballast + 35 kg) must be entered in the table on page 6.7 as value XX and
also on the placard at the indication lights for the fin tank on the front
instrument panel.
6.8.7.2 Trim-possibility for heavy pilots:
The ballast box may be used for this purpose too.
One trim weight of 1.2 kg raises the min. load in the front seat by 3.5 kg
(7.7 lbs.).
One trim weight of 2.4 kg raises the min. load in the front seat by 7 kg
(15.4 lbs.).
Example for combination of 6.8.7.1 and 6.8.7.2
(1 kg= 2.2046 lbs):
Min. cockpit load of the glider: 70 kg
Mass of the front pilot:
Mass of the rear pilot:
Total amount of trim ballast:
This means that the ballast box can be filled completely for this example.
Higher pilot masses can't be compensated.
Caution: Heavy pilots when flying the DG-1000M two-seated must compensate
the mass of the front and the rear pilot.
Don't exceed the max. mass of 790 kg (1742 lbs.).
