6.1 Introduction

This section contains the payload range within which the motorglider may be
safely operated.
A procedure for calculating the in-flight C.G. is also provided.
A comprehensive list of all equipment available for this motorglider is contained
in the maintenance manual.

Reference line:
The weighing is to be executed with all watertanks and the fuel tank emptied,
without ballast in the trim ballast boxes in the fin and in the cockpit (optional)
and without fin battery Z110 (Option), powerplant retracted.

6.3 Weighing record

The result of each C.G. weighing is to be entered on page 6.7. If the min.

When altering the equipment, the new data can be gathered by a C.G.
calculation (see section 6.9).
The actual equipment list is enclosed in the maintenance manual.

6.4 Basic empty mass and C.G.

Actual data see page 6.7. With the empty weight C.G. and the cockpit loads in
the limits of the diagram on page 6.8, the in-flight C.G. limits will not be
exceeded.
