Centre of gravity limits
•
Aircraft's safe centre of gravity position ranges between 20% and 39% of mean aero-
dynamic chord.
•
Reference point ranges between 243 mm and 408 mm, datum is wing's leading edge.
Manoeuvre limits
Sinus ultralight motorglider is certied as an Ultralight aircraft. Therefore, all basic
non-aerobatic manoeuvres are permitted within operational speed range, regardless of
wing ap position.
Following NON-aerobatic manoeuvres are permitted as dened:
•
Power on and o stalls not below 150 meters (500 feet) above ground level.
•
Power on and o lazy eights not below 150 meters (500 feet) above ground level.
•
Steep turns with a maximum bank of 60° and initial speed of 160 km/h (85 kts).
•
Chandelle maneuver not below 150 meters (500 feet) above ground level.
•
Intended spin (at most 180° in actual spinning manoeuvre).
G-load factors
max. positive wing load: + 4 G
max. negative wing load: – 2 G
Cockpit crew
•
There is NO LIMIT to the minimum cockpit crew weight.
•
Cockpit crew may weigh at most 180 kg.
•
Maximum takeo weight (MTOM) MUST NOT, under any circumstances, exceed 450 /
472,5kg.
