4.6 Performance considerations
Because the Shark 600 performance is higher than most ultralights,
more awareness required. Please read the following items.
4.6.1 Turbulence
Shark 600 economy cruise speed is 240 km/h (130 KIAS). Normal
cruise ranges between 250 km/h and 270 km/h (135 – 146 KIAS) at
75% power and fuel consumption 20 l/h.
Maximum speed with maximum continuous power is 280-300
km/h (151 – 162 KIAS) depending on the systems installed – e.g.
landing gear doors, airbox, injection, exhaust, weight, temperature
and altitude. For longer trips 250 km/h (135 KIAS) is an advisable
economy cruise speed which can be used for planning and is even
acceptable in light turbulence.
Speed up to 270 km/h (146 KIAS) is comfortable for passengers
when flying in light turbulence.
CAUTION
Reduce speed to 180-230 km/h (97 – 124 KIAS) when flying in moderate
to heavy turbulence.
