This Pilot Operating Handbook has been prepared to provide the airplane owner and operators with information required for the safe and efficient operation of this airplane. AEROPRAKT-22L2 (A-22L2) is a two-seat, high-wing strut braced monoplane of "classic" aerodynamic layout with closed cockpit, non-retractable landing gear with steerable nose wheel, Rotax-912 engine with tractor three-blade on-ground adjustable pitch propeller.
A22L2-POH-02 AEROPRAKT-22L2 Pilot Operating Handbook 2 Airplane and Systems Descriptions 2.1 Airframe Wing: high placed, strut braced, constant chord. Wing section is P-llla-15%. Wing primary structure consists of a single spar, ribs and aft web. Forward of the spar the wing has 2024T3 aluminum alloy skin of 0.5-0.8 mm (0.020-0.032 in) sheet, which together with the...
All engine systems (fuel, electric, cooling) are assembled in accordance with Rotax-912 engine operation manual. The engine can be fitted with an air intake pre-heater box designed by Aeroprakt, which improves engine operating conditions, preventing carburetor icing in cold weather and increasing the engine output in hot weather.
A22L2-POH-02 AEROPRAKT-22L2 Pilot Operating Handbook 2.5 Fuel system The fuel system (Fig. includes two wing fuel tanks 1 with filler inlets 2 and fuel lines connecting the tanks to each other and to the engine fuel pump 6 (that is feeding fuel engine carburetors 10) via two fuel valves 3, gascolator 11 and fuel filter 5.
AEROPRAKT-22L2 Pilot Operating Handbook A22L2-POH-02 NOTE: When both tanks are full, fuel may flow from one tank to the other (e.g. due to the lateral forces during side slipping or when wings are not level on parking or during taxiing), overfill it and spill out through the vent line.
