WEIGHT AND BALANCE
AutoGyro_FOM_MTOsport Revision 5.0 – Issue Date 01.04.2011 6-1
SECTION 6 - WEIGHT AND BALANCE
6.1 General
The gyroplane must be operated within the weight and balance limits as specified in
SECTION 2 of this manual. Loading situations outside these limits can result in restricted
flight control and can ultimately lead to degraded safety.
6.2 Weight and Balance Record
An initial weighing report and equipment list showing gyroplane configuration, empty weight
and centre of gravity is delivered with each gyroplane. This data applies to the gyroplane as
delivered from the factory. Any changes in the configuration should be performed by a
qualified maintenance station and documented. After modifications and at regular intervals
a new weighing report and equipment list should be issued.
6.3 Compliance with Weight and Balance
The MTOsport gyroplane is designed in such way that compliance with weight and balance
is provided, if
the gyroplane is loaded within the individual weight limitations for each station as
provided in SECTION 2 of this manual, and
the certified maximum take-off weight, representing the total sum of pilot, passenger,
baggage, fuel and current empty weight is not exceeded
