Weights and loading

Max takeoff and landing weight is 600 kg. Max fuel weight is 82 kg and rear fuselage baggage is 18 kg. The wing locker limit is 10 kg each in the Cruiser POH and 20 kg each in the SportCruiser POH. Max empty weight is 405 kg (Cruiser POH). The SportCruiser POH lists 345 kg empty with minimum equipment. Max crew weight is 115 kg per seat. Actual empty weight is in Section 9, Supplement No. 02.

Engine and fuel

The Rotax 912 ULS makes 73.5 kW at 5,800 rpm (max 5 min) and 69 kW continuous at 5,500 rpm. Two wing tanks hold 57 L each, 114 L total, 113 L usable. MOGAS (min RON 95) is recommended, and fuels with more than 5% ethanol are not permitted. AVGAS 100 LL stresses the valve seats and builds deposits, so use it only for vapor lock problems or when other fuel is unavailable.

Takeoff, landing and climb (SportCruiser POH)

Figures are for 600 kg, ISA, sea level, with flaps 15° for takeoff. Takeoff run is 463 ft on concrete and 702 ft on grass. Distance over a 50 ft obstacle is 1,270 ft on concrete and 1,499 ft on grass. Landing over 50 ft is 1,188 ft on concrete. Rate of climb is 825 fpm at sea level and 355 fpm at 9000 ft.

Safety notes

  • Day VFR only. IFR flight and intentional flight in icing conditions are prohibited.
  • Do not exceed the 600 kg max takeoff weight. The emergency parachute is approved for up to 612 kg and 120 knots.
  • Do not idle fully on final or in long descents: the engine can under-cool and lose power. 6 L of fuel allows only about 15 minutes of safe operation.
