In order to be flown by a sport pilot, the resulting airplane must still meet the current regulations—1,320 pounds maximum gross weight, 120 knots max cruise speed, for example—but how it gets there is up to the builder. The ELSA is a different animal. The RV-12 is, of course, all metal.

Aircraft Weight and Limitations An aircraft’s weight affects inertia and stopping distance. The POH lists landing distances for specific gross weights. Smaller aircraft may only have short field landing distances for maximum gross weight. The greater the mass of the aircraft, the longer the landing roll.

Investigators observed the accumulation of minor icing on some of the aircrafts leading edge surfaces, while more significant icing was found at the base of the vertical stabilizers beacon light. It also surpassed the absolute maximum take-off weight for the Cessna 208B by approximately 803 lbs (365kg).

This is often the clean configuration at max gross weight. Trim for level flight once you’re stabilized at your target speed. Pilots use reference stalling speeds instead. V S0 is the stall speed in the landing configuration. V S1 is the stall speed in a specific configuration. Check your POH for specifics.

But I have maintained 5000 feet at 6000 pounds gross weight,” notes Ross. From the pilot’s seat it cruises near effortlessly and handles nimbly on land or water with a great combination of stability and modest control pressures. Just recognizable in the background is a horizontal stabilizer and one-piece elevator.

The previous CTs had a stabilator for pitch, where the new F2 uses a more conventional elevator and fixed horizontal stabilizer. With the F2, the rudder and vertical stabilizer are changed, with the rudder becoming a much smaller surface than before. Max Gross Weight: 1,320 lbs. Empty Weight: 840 lbs.
