In the Allegro 2000 Flight and Operating Manual, dated August 2004, on page
12, I find the MTOW to be 560 Kg (1232 lbs.). In another set of specs for
the same aircraft I find the MTOW to be 520Kg (1144 lbs.). Then on the US
Distributer's web site the MTOW for the 2007 Allegro 2000 is shown to be 600
Kg (1320 lbs.). I fly an Allegro 2000 (S/N 04-713). I would appreciate some
feed back concerning what the correct MTOW should be for my aircraft. I am
checking with the US Distributor but have got no reply yet.

Hugh,

The Allegro 2000 was initially built for the European market which has a MTOW limit of 520 kg (1144 lb) for that class of aircraft, or at least it did at the time. I believe they are considering increasing that limit. When approved for S-LSA in the USA the MTOW was raised to 1232 lb for Allegro 2000s sold in the USA. The newer 2007 model has a heavier empty weight with wider and slightly taller cabin and larger tail. The MTOW for the 2007 model is 1320 lb.

The MTOW for your Allegro 2000 built as an E-LSA has an MTOW of 1232 lb.

Note that the load limit specifications for the European MTOW of 1144 lb is +4g -2g. At MTOW of 1232 lb. the load limits will be +3.71 and -1.85
