1.1.19 Weight and Balance Information Section includes the allowed centre of gravity positioning and weight ranges and centre of gravity position determination procedure allowing safe aircraft operating. All aircraft are structurally and aerodynamically engineered for certain load conditions which result from specific weights and forces anticipated to occur in normal operations An Aircraft’s handling qualities and structural within the specified flight envelope.
Page 33
Center of Gravity Limits are the extreme forward and aft center of gravity locations (limits) within which the airplane must be operated at any given weight. Center of Gravity Range: The horizontal distance, along an aircraft’s longitudinal axis, within which an aircraft has been found to be fully maneuverable at all specified design speeds, weights and loading configurations.
Page 34
Weight: Actual individual weight of each item such as airframe, crew, fuel, baggage, cargo, etc. in pounds or kilograms Empty Weight: The actual weight of the individual aircraft, including the structure, power plant, fixed equipment, any fixed ballast, unusable (in-flight) fuel, and coolant. Original Empty Weight is determined by actually weighing each new aircraft before it is flown.
Page 35
Be sure to remove any loose equipment, tools, etc. from the aircraft prior to weighing. Sometimes it is necessary to adjust or reduce fuel, cargo, or passenger weights to remain at or below Maximum Allowable Gross Weight. Temporary or permanent ballast is sometimes necessary to bring the C.G.

3.11.5 Inspection and operation checks L/RI, RM, A&P level of certification required. The satisfactory performance of an aircraft is dependent upon the continued reliability of the electrical system. Damaged wiring or equipment in an aircraft, regardless of how minor it may appear to be, cannot be tolerated. Reliability of the system is proportional to the amount of maintenance received and the knowledge of those who perform such maintenance.
3.12 Structural Repair Task Specific: can be completed only by a responsible individual, which holds either an FAA Mechanic certificate or an FAA LSA Repairman Certificate plus he (or she) must have received TL-ULTRALIGHT Structure Repairing course. Otherwise all repairs can only be done at TL-ULTRALIGHT authorized service centers. 3.12.1 Repair of Laminate parts Damage classification Any damage of parts from reinforced plastics with epoxy matrix leads to increased...

3) Application of smoothing layer After preparation of mixture and its eventual thickening to enhance the non curtaining capability (for vertical or lower areas) is performed its application onto the repair area by means of a plastic spatula. For better distribution of deposited material on irregular surface it is possible to form it through the laid PE or PP transparent polyethylene.

1) Preparatory Sanding: For good adhesion of repair layers it is necessary to do sanding up to the depth of damage. It is necessary to do surface sanding from the damage area with overrun at the least 1” for every damaged stiffener layer smoothly up to the top layer and then about 2”...
HEAVY DAMAGE At such damage the part must be replaced. CAUTION When repairing structural parts, it is necessary to pay attention to timely repair see the text about low of properties at humidity effect. CAUTION When repairing small damage, it is necessary to carefully pay attention not to damage any structural part! 3.13 Painting and Coating Task Specific: can be completed a responsible individual, which holds either an FAA...

CAUTION By applying permanent protective coats weight of airplane is increased and gravity center position is changed. Increase in weight depends on type of coat and its thickness. 1) Washing and degreasing It is possible to use both organic solvents and water based solvents. CAUTION All paints and solvents must be used only with caution for proper personal and environmental protection and disposal.

Water-based agents – (emulgation substances, wetting agents) Applied also by spraying onto washed surfaces or by wiping with wet (by pouring and dipping) textile wad. After applying it, let it act for some time (see manufacturers recommendation) and then it is rinsed with clear water (by means of sponge dipped in ample amount of water or water jet).

3) Bonding After total drying of basic coat carry out total bonding of irregularities including repairs of bonding. After drying perform sanding with emery paper with grain size of 240 until the surface is smooth. After sanding clean dust and wipe of with grease remover and perform repairing paint coat by primer (1/3 of coat thickness).

Degreasing It is carried out in the same way as in the case of the total spray coat. Application of primer For reaching the satisfactory equal adhesion to carry out a spray coat of the place to be repaired by adhesive interlayer Surface Recomm.
3.13.2 Paint repairs – Method of Verification For final inspection touch the painted (or coated) surfaces of parts. Finished surface must be smooth, no dents or bumps are allowed. Ensure original profile of the treated surfaces, if necessary. Inspect painted surface visually from various viewpoints. No paint runs, unpainted areas are allowed.
CAUTION When securing castle nuts, always use new cotter pins. Shift the new cotter pin into the hole in the bolt and bend the cotter pin ends as shown in Figure on page 3 - 159. 3.14.3 Safety Wire Procedure of bolt joint securing is by stainless steel wire having diameter of 0.032”.

Safety wire procedures, alignment and installation are shown below: 1. Adjust the correct 6. Pull the upper position of holes for wire through the safety wire. hole in the other bolt. Hold the wire end by pliers tighten it firm. 2.
3.14.4 Inspection of Rod ends Cracks and subsequent failures of rod ends usually begin at the thread end near the bearing and adjacent to or under the jam nut. (See figure below) Typical locations for rod end cracks 3.14.5 Inspection of push pull tube connections Elongated holes are especially prevalent in taper-pin holes and bolt holes or at the riveted joints of torque tubes and push-pull rods.
3.15 Cable inspections Swaged Nicopress clamp installation 3.15.1 Cable system Inspections The aircraft uses cable only for the rudders and trim system. These cables are subject to many environmental exterior and interior conditions which can result in deterioration over of a long period of time. Wire or stand breakages is easy to visually recognize when bent into a curve.
