7.17.1 Removable ballast for under weight pilots
The ballast boxes (Option) at the right and left hand side of the instrument
console underneath the carpets can accommodate 2 ballast weights of min 2.4 kg
(5.3 lbs.) each. Each weight compensates a pilot mass of 3.2 kg (7 lbs.). So a
max. of 12.8 kg (28 lbs.) missing pilot mass can be compensated.
The ballast weights are to be fixed in the box with a M8 knurled nut.
Note: The ballast weights used for the ballast box in the fin may be used for
these ballast boxes too.
