9.2 OPERATION OF OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT OR ACCESSO-
RIES
The airframe ballistic parachute is considered optional equipment
on the A5-B. The ICON Parachute System (IPS) is a deployable
aircraft parachute system that can be used to safely recover the
A5-B in an emergency situation when other means are not feasible.
For additional information see “ICON Parachute System” on page
7-24.
Since the airframe ballistic parachute is not required equipment it is
not included in the empty weight of the aircraft. For reference with
weight and balance calculations, see “Additional Optional
Equipment” on page 6-9.
9.2.1 GARMIN AERA 796
The Garmin aera 796 is an accessory for the A5-B. The aera 796
presents GPS-derived analog flight instrumentation, position,
navigation, and hazard avoidance information to the pilot using a 7”
WVGA high brightness display with a capacitive touch screen.
Since it is an accessory, the aera 796 is not included in the empty
weight of the aircraft. For reference with weight and balance
calculations, the unit weighs 1.7 lb
f
and mount at approximately FS
109.7.
