tires or equivalent with 80 psi inflation.
2) Maximum landing weight limited to 1500 lbs.
3) Refer to gross weight takeoff distances as shown in the
“Takeoff Distances” diagram in this manual. Lift off at 75
knots. and climb at 95 knots. (110 mph). See the “Climb
Speeds” diagram in this manual.
4) Maneuvers limited to normal category (+3.8gs, -1g.). No
abrupt maneuvers.
5) Before conducting maximum-gross operation, the pilot
should be a proficient and competent COZY pilot with at
least 50 landings in the aircraft. The pilot should not attempt
maximum-gross operations at high density altitudes or gusty
crosswinds. Maximum crosswind component is 8 knots.
6) Maximum gross weight operations should not be considered
a routine operation since the chance of surviving an off-
airport forced landing diminishes rapidly as weight goes up.
It should only be considered on those rare occasions when a
long-rang, full-fuel, full-baggage, four-place operation is
necessary. Routine operations above 1500 lbs. gross
weight are not recommended.
