2.5.4 Flight Load Factor Limits
Max positive maneuvering load factor: 4.0 G.
Negative load factors prohibited.
Load factors below 1.0 G to be avoided.
2.5.5 Kinds of Operation Limits
The ultralight is only to be flown under visual flight rules (VFR), and the minimum equipment required to
operate under VFR conditions are an Air speed indicator, Altimeter and instruments required by the
engine manufacturer.
Additional equipment may be required for some foreign operations.
2.5.6 Fuel Limitations
Tank capacity 54 liters (14.3 US Gal)
2.5.7 Maximum Passenger Seating Limits
One passenger maximum allowed.
2.5.8 Minimum Pilot Weight
The microlight ultralight must only be flown solo from the front seat. Minimum pilot weight flown solo shall
not be below 55 kg. Maximum power at minimum take off weight can cause an abrupt climb rate that, if
uncorrected, may cause climb angles of greater than maximum of 45 degrees.
Approximately 2/3 of maximum take off power is considered comfortable for a minimum take off weight.
Take off distance will be extended at reduced power.
2.5.9 Other Limitations
Maximum Cross Wind - 6m/s
Maximum Wind Strength - 12m/s
Maximum Ambient Operating Temperature + 40 ...-10 deg C
No person who is untrained or unqualified in weight shift controlled flight or, who is unfamiliar with the
wing and trike combination, should ever attempt to pilot the ultralight unless under professional instruction.
The effect of light rain on the ultralight can increase the stall speed. It is extremely important to maintain
speeds in excess of the take off and landing safety speeds when the wing is wet. If the ultralight has been
left out in the rain or heavy dew it is necessary to wipe the wing down prior to take off. It is also
recommended that the ultralight be flown solo first to ensure all excess moisture is removed.
Continued operation in heavy rain is not recommended due to the abrasive effect of raindrops on the propeller.
CAUTION
MOISTURE ON THE WING CAN INCREASE STALL SPEED AND SHOULD BE REMOVED
PRIOR TO TAKE OFF.
