1973 model-year changes
The 1973 Sport, Sundowner and Sierra got lighter control response (column forces cut by approximately 50% by changing the stabilator tab linkage from 1 to 1.65 to 1 to 1). They also got a lowered instrument panel, touch-coded quadrant controls as standard, an extended oil filler with a bale-type dipstick, and inertia-reel shoulder harnesses for the front seats. Check which of these an older airplane has.
Weight and balance
Empty weights for six Sports run 1,486.6 to 1,515 lbs, with empty moments of 165,600 to 167,079. Listed arms are 110 for pilot and co-pilot, 117 for fuel (6 lbs per gal) and 142 for baggage. Seat position varies from 104 to 112 or 105 to 112, depending on the airplane. Unusable fuel is already included in empty weight, so work from usable fuel only.
Parts and approvals
The vacuum pump guide lists the B19 Sport with a Lycoming O-320E: pump 211CC when overhauled, RA215CC when new. The Tempest spin-on oil filter listed for the B19 Sport (O-320) is AA48110. The B19 appears on EASA Approved Model List 10055051 Rev. 1 (FLARM Technology GmbH) under US A1CE. The parts guide says to confirm eligibility against the Type Certificate IPC.
