max. cockpit load is 210 kg (463 lbs.) with a max. of 105 kg (231 lbs.) in the
front seat or 110 kg (242 lbs.) in the front seat and 90 kg (198 lbs.) in the rear
seat.
min. cockpit load in the front seat is the min. cockpit load see a) minus 40%
of the load in the rear seat. This means that 10 kg (22 lbs.) in the rear seat
replaces 4 kg (8.8 lbs.) missing cockpit load in the front seat.
With these loads, the C.G. range given under 6.8 will be kept in the limits if the
empty weight C.G. is in its limits. See loading chart in sect. 6.8.
Caution:
With lower pilot weights lead ballast must be added to the seat.
Ballast put on the seat (lead ballast cushion) must be fastened at the safety belt
anchor point.
Option: Provision for removable trim-ballast in the front cockpit see sect 7.15.1.
Note:
For Australia the lower limit for the min. load in the cockpit should not
exceed 66 kg (146 lbs.). A provision for removable ballast see sect. 7.15.1 is
mandatory.
