Page 8: Airplane And Systems Description
Aeropro CZ - A240 - Pilot Operating Handbook and Flight Training Supplement Airplane and systems description The Aeropro A240 is an S-LSA aircraft designed as a high-wing monoplane. A two-spar wing is equipped with external airfoil flaperons. Fuselage is an open truss structure welded of chromoly steel tubes. Tail unit is formed of a lattice-work tube frame. -
Page 9: Engine
Aeropro CZ - A240 - Pilot Operating Handbook and Flight Training Supplement 1.1 Engine The A240 is powered by the Rotax 912ULS 100-hp engine. It is a four-cylinder, four-stroke, horizontally- opposed, center-camshaft engine with overhead valves. Engine cooling is of a combined type; cylinder heads are water-cooled while cylinders are air-cooled. - Page 10 Aeropro CZ - A240 - Pilot Operating Handbook and Flight Training Supplement Due to the higher lead content in AVGAS, the wear of the valve seats, deposits in the combustion chamber and lead sediments in the lubrication system will increase. Therefore, use AVGAS only if you encounter problems with vapor lock or if other fuel types are not available.

Aeropro CZ - A240 - Pilot Operating Handbook and Flight Training Supplement Supplementary information 8.1 Flight familiarization procedures Familiarization flight procedures depends on the pilot’s experience. The whole familiarization should start with a careful study of this document (Pilot Operating Handbook and Flight Training Supplement). The Maintenance Manual should also be read as well. - Page 46 Aeropro CZ - A240 - Pilot Operating Handbook and Flight Training Supplement 9. FLIGHT TRAINING SUPPLEMENT Introduction This supplement should enable you to familiarize yourself with the flight performance and flight characteristics of the A240. To carry out these instructions you may need to refer to the appropriate chapters provided in the aircrafts POH.
- Page 47 Aeropro CZ - A240 - Pilot Operating Handbook and Flight Training Supplement The takeoff run distance is affected by weather and surface conditions, as well as the takeoff weight of the aircraft. However, average distance is 250 to 420 ft.
- Page 48 Aeropro CZ - A240 - Pilot Operating Handbook and Flight Training Supplement Before establishing a slip you have to ensure that the airspeed is within the required limits; the maximum permissible indicated airspeed of 110 mph (96 kts) (VA) should not be exceeded and if performing a slip with flaps extended, a maximum indicated airspeed of 94 mph (82 kts) should not be exceeded.
- Page 49 Aeropro CZ - A240 - Pilot Operating Handbook and Flight Training Supplement Approach in the slip configuration If a high descent rate is required on final, we recommend conducting a slip maneuver. Always avoid pushing the control stick forward too far, as this will cause higher airspeeds and result in a missed approach.

Page 50: Airplane Weight And Balance Statement
Aeropro CZ - A240 - Pilot Operating Handbook and Flight Training Supplement Appendix 1. Airplane weight and balance statement - example The CG position of empty aircraft is determined by weighing. The procedure is described in the Maintenance Manual. The whole procedure must be repeated and new Airplane weight and balance statement must be prepared whenever a modification or repair having impact to the weight of the aircraft occurs.
