f) Empty weight

The standard empty weight which is used to calculate the reference empty weight of the whole

aircraft does not include the options stated hereafter. So, think of taking from the useful weight

indicated on the third page of the user's manual of the wing the weight of each option.

g) Options

1) Luggage container

The container integrates perfectly with the tank shape, allowing 33 lbs (15kg) of luggage at the

same time increasing propeller efficiency. To open the container, use a coin and give the Nylon

screws a quarter turn. Ensure that the luggage door is closed before flying, objects could fall

from the container and strike the propeller, which could be very dangerous. The useful load of

this aircraft is reduced by 6.5 lbs (3 kg) owing to the weight of this option.

2) Parachute

The trike can be equipped with a pyrotechnic rocket parachute BRS, under the engine.

The parachute will slow the descent of both aircraft and occupants if a major problem occurs

(collision, flight envelope exceeded, faintness etc.). It is advised to use it only as last solution

to save life or reduce personal damages.

Before starting the engine, the safety cotter pin placed on the launching handle should be

removed. Then it should be replaced after landing, before going outboard, to avoid

unintentional firing.

On the trikes equipped with an electrical start, it is recommended to link the engine key with

the safety cotter pin, so its removal while using the trike cannot be forgotten.

Before firing the parachute, it is advised, if altitude allows, switching the engine off to do not

spoil the main bridle with the rotating propeller.

If you cannot stop the engine, it will be stopped at the same time you pull the handle of the

parachute, due to the switch integrated on the handle fitting.

The activating of the rocket motor is made by pulling the red handle located between the pilot's

legs, on the seat frame. Warning: a strong pull on the handle is needed, at maximum

available length.

Always inspect bridle connection points and activation bridles before flying and must not be

modified. When rigging the wing, bridles must be fixed with the link shackle.

The recommendations concerning inspection, activation and unloading of the rocket,

maintenance periods and overall care are stated in the user's manual provided with the

parachute.

The parachute does not change the flight behavior of the microlight but its weight reduces the

useful load by 22 lbs (10 kg).

3) .Dual control for instruction

This option allows for control of the ground steering and the engine power from the rear seat.

For instructors, it allows full control from the rear seat of the aircraft. It reduces the useful load

of the GTE trikes by 2.2 lbs (1 kg).
