NOTE
The mass of the winter kit - ventilation is negligible. The mass
and balance data of the airplane therefore remain unchanged.

The Datum Plane (DP) is a plane which is normal to the airplane’s longitudinal axis and
in front of the airplane as seen from the direction of flight. The airplane’s longitudinal axis
is parallel with the floor of the nose baggage compartment. When the floor of the nose
baggage compartment is aligned horizontally, the Datum Plane is vertical. The Datum
Plane is located 2.196 meters (86.46 in) forward of the most forward point of the root rib
on the stub wing.
