Evektor ev-97 eurostar. Given the issued French Microlight Regulation from 2019, two-seater multiaxis aircraft with a maximum take-off mass (MTOM) of 500-525 kg, excluding or including parachute systems, are considered microlight aircraft. This regulation is the result of an agreement between FFPLUM and DGAC. A specific aircraft, the EV 97 EUROSTAR Modell SL, has its documentation available for safe operation and maintenance. The document includes catalogues, manuals, and bulletins that must be followed to ensure the aircraft's safety. The aircraft, with registration D-MWOS, is owned by Luftsportverein Worms e.V. Aircraft Betriebshandbuch EV-97 EUROSTAR MODELL SL Berichtigungsstand des Handbuches Neuausgabe alle 11-2014 D-MWOS Stand 11-2014. This document outlines the necessary procedures for operating the aircraft within its designated flight limits and provides safety information. The document is divided into several sections, including BETRIEBSGRENZEN (flight limits), LEISTUNGEN (performance), GEWICHT UND SCHWERPUNKT (weight and center of gravity), and BESCHREIBUNG (description). It also includes an ANHANG (appendix) with additional information such as Durchgeführte Prüfungen, Einbau Rettungssystem, and Checklist. The EV-97 EUROSTAR MODELL SL Handbuch serves as a guide for pilots and instructors, providing essential legal information and additional data from the manufacturer to ensure safe and efficient operation of the aircraft. It emphasizes the importance of adhering to the outlined procedures and safety measures to prevent accidents.

Before taking off, the propeller can come into contact with the nets and break them. The canopy should be sent to the manufacturer for repair. For more information, refer to the operating manual of the rescue system or the manufacturer. Daily inspections are required once a day before starting flight operations. This procedure is similar to the pre-flight check, as described in Chapter 4.3, but with a wider scope and deeper inspection. The inspection includes checking electric connections, candlestick sockets, gas and choke lines for secure seating and integrity. Check the wings for damage to the outer surface and foreign paint marks, as well as the control rods and flaps for connection and security. Ensure the pitot tube is free from foreign objects. Before starting flight operations, the responsible pilot must perform a visual inspection of the aircraft. This knowledge will be imparted during pilot training, with specific details also provided in the equipment instruction manual. This inspection should be shorter than the daily inspection, but it should be performed before each flight. The routine includes checking the surfaces of various parts, such as the rudder, control rods, flaps, fuselage, ailerons, elevators, and trimmers, for any damage or issues with their lags and hinges. Additionally, ensure that all antennas are securely seated on the fuselage. Prior to takeoff, check the cabin's zonation and main switch are turned off, confirm sufficient fuel quantity, inspect the Plexiglas canopy for any issues, and remove any loose items from the footwell and cockpit. To prepare for landing, engage the brake by pressing the pedal while ensuring the parking brake has been released first. Verify that the fuel gauge shows an adequate amount of fuel in the tank. If there is less than 11 liters of fuel remaining, it marks the beginning of the reserve range. Warm up the engine with two minutes at 2000 rpm, then proceed to 2500 rpm for continued operation. **Temperature Alert**: The engine temperature has reached 50°C. To test the

ignition system, perform a check at 4000 RPM. Ensure that the propeller's pitch setting is correct and not exceeding 300 RPM. Also, verify the propeller's starting position. **Pre-Start Check**: Before taking off, conduct a thorough inspection of the aircraft systems. Make sure to land with the wind and avoid excessive descent rates, as the EUROSTAR SL takes longer to descend than older models. **Checklist**: Refer to Appendix IV for the complete checklist. A simplified list can be placed in the cockpit. **Performance Data**: The following data was obtained through flight testing, assuming the aircraft is in good condition and the pilot has average skills. The performance figures apply to normal conditions (sea level, standard pressure, 15°C temperature, windless, maximum takeoff weight of 472.5 kg, and a smooth runway with no obstacles). **Maximum Overspeed**: The critical overspeed for the propeller is 120 km/h. **Start Runway**: The start runway distance is greater than 50 ft (15 m), and there are obstacles to be aware of (hard surface or grass). These values apply at sea level, standard pressure, and a temperature of 15°C. **Warning**: Adjustments may be needed for different conditions. **Climb Rate**: The climb rate for the EV-97 EuroStar SL is as follows: * Without flaps: up to 68 in (1,700 ft/min) at sea level * With flaps: up to 1200 fpm (3,600 ft/min) at 2,000 ft **Landing Performance**: The landing performance with flaps retracted is as follows: * Flaps up: up to 105 km/h (65 mph) * Takeoff flaps: up to 110 km/h (68 mph) * Landing flaps: up to 115 km/h (71 mph) 5.3.1 Horizontal Geschwindigkeit Die folgende Tabelle zeigt die erreichten Geschwindigkeiten in IAS (Indikatorenschnelligkeit) für verschiedene Höhen und Motorregime: The Eurostar SL model is constructed in a shell-like manner using riveted aluminum sheet. It features a rectangular cross-section with a curved top surface and has spars and stringers for added stability. The side fairing is an integral part of the structure, featuring symmetrical profiles, ribbed skin, and dural plate covering. At the rear wingtip, a support arm holds attached flaps and rudder. To prevent corrosion, all aluminum components are riveted and welded. Additionally, they have been coated with a protective zinc-chromate paint for both sides. To ensure a safe landing, choose the right options. DESCRIPTION OF 4-Zyl.-4Takt-Boxermotor with dry sump lubrication, hydraulic lifters, electronic dual ignition, electric starter, and transmission.
