 |
|
Finally looking at previous posts and I see the issue of Gross Weight came up, again...Per P.5 of the Technical Specification for Service and Maintenance, a NORMAL gross weight of 1400 kg is listed (1400 * 2.204622 =3086.47 lbs). This is the weight that the CJ-6 can be flown aerobatic, analogous our to aerobatic category. If flight loads were limited to +4.4 , the CJ could fly at 3471 lbs in the Utility category (if it were Standard Certification). I believe somewhere in between happens more often than not with long range fuel, and other add-ons.
Many CJ's were converted or built as forestry and coastal patrol workhorses. Gary Nunn has one, I believe it holds 90 gallons of go juice in stainless steel tanks, that's a 540 lb fuel load. Others were even converted to Ag sprayers weighing up to 4100 lbs!
Of course in the Experiment-Exhibition Category, every flight is a test flight.

Craig,
Correct me if I'm wrong, but if an airplane has a standard certification
like a Cessna or Piper single, if one looks at the Weight and Balance
envelop, the utility category is where it is approved for certain
aerobaticmaneuvers which is always less than the normal full gross
weight. Thus in the case of the CJ, wouldn't you call the 3471 pounds
the normal category and the 3086 pounds the utility category since this
is the weight the airplane is approved for aerobatics?
