• Category: EASA CS-23 – Light aircraft (used in PPL and early ATPL training)

• Seats: 2 seats (pilot + passenger)

• Engine: Rotax 912 ULS2 (piston engine)

📏

Main Aircraft Speeds

🧮

Performance Basics

• Max Takeoff Weight (MTOW): ~600 kg

• Fuel Capacity: Around 114 liters (usable fuel approx. 100 liters)

• Endurance: Around 5 hours, depending on power settings

• Cruise Speed: ~95–100 KIAS

• Fuel Burn: ~18–20 liters/hour

• Range: ~400–500 NM with full fuel

📋

Important Procedures

• Startup Checks – Mixture, throttle, fuel pump, mags, master switch, etc.

• Takeoff Procedure – Full throttle, maintain runway centerline, rotate at 45 KIAS

• Climb – Maintain Vy (65 KIAS)

• Cruise – Set RPM, adjust trim and mixture

• Landing – Maintain VFE limits for flaps, final approach ~60 KIAS

🚨

Emergency Procedures

• Engine Failure After Takeoff:
  

  • Pitch for 60 KIAS

  • Pick safe landing spot

  • Master + fuel OFF before touchdown

• Engine Fire in Flight:
  

  • Fuel valve OFF

  • Cabin heat OFF

  • Increase airspeed (blow out fire)

  • Emergency landing

• Electrical Fire:
  

  • Master OFF

  • Vents OPEN

  • Use extinguisher

🧠

Operational Limits & Facts

• Max Demonstrated Crosswind: 12 knots

• Flaps Settings:
  

  • T/O = 15°

  • LDG = 30°

• Oil Temp Range: Keep in limits during climb and descent

• RPM Limits: Avoid redline, typical cruise is around 5000–5200 RPM

🔍

Radio Navigation (Basics Covered)

• VHF Range: Line-of-sight limited; keep antenna considerations in mind

• Transponder: Use correct squawk (7000 VFR), Mode C (altitude reporting)

• Q Codes:
  

  • QDM: Magnetic bearing TO the station

  • QDR: Magnetic bearing FROM the station

🧭

Airport Procedures (LERJ – Logroño Airport)

• Treat as ATC-controlled.

• Standard circuit:
  

  • LH (left-hand) pattern

  • Entry via downwind

  • Communication on designated frequency (typically TWR or AFIS depending on airspace)

✅ Summary for Practical Use

If you memorize:

• Key aircraft speeds

• Takeoff and landing checklists

• Emergency procedures

• Fuel & range data

• Key radio phrases and navigation basics

• How to operate in/out of Logroño Airport

Then you’re ready for both exams and practical flight at this phase.
