2.14 Waterballast
Max. capacity 80 l (21.1 U.S. gal) per wing.
Filling the water ballast is only allowed with a filling system which enables
determination of the exact amount of ballast filled, e.g. water gauge or calibrated
canisters. Only symmetrical loading is allowed.
After filling, balance the wings by dumping enough water from the heavy wing,
see 4.2.2.
Flight with leaking watertanks is prohibited, as this may result in asymmetrical
loading condition.
Warning: Follow the loading chart, see section 6.8.
The max. take off weight must not be exceeded.
2.15 Fin tank
Warning: As it is dangerous to fly with empty wing tanks while ballast is
resting in the fin, it is prohibited to fill water into the fin tank if there is any
risk of icing. The flight conditions must comply with the following table:
min. ground temperature
°C
°F
max. flight altitude
m
ft
In addition the outside air temperature OAT gauge is to be watched.
The OAT should not be lower than 2°C (36°F)!
2.16 Trim ballast box in the fin
A box for ballast (trim-weights) is installed in the fin. It can be used to
compensate the mass of the rear pilot and as a trim-possibility for heavy pilots.
Warning: Follow the loading chart see 6.8.7.
