1.3 DESCRIPTIVE AIRCRAFT DATA
TYPE OF AIRCRAFT
Texan Top Class ISR is a light sport aircraft with airframe; wings and control surfaces made
of laminate and honeycomb sandwich composite materials. The rectangular shape low wing
utilizes a laminar flow airfoil section. The ailerons are differential whilst the flaps are
electrically operated plain type, the vertical tail control surface is composed by a fixed fin and
by a mobile rudder, and the horizontal tail control surface is completely mobile, hinged in the
central part with integrated trim. The tricycle type landing gear is fixed, with dampered nose
wheel, with the main legs made in spring steel construction.
The Texan Top Class aircraft is approved for Day VFR only. Flight into bad weather with IFR
conditions by VFR pilots and aircraft is extremely dangerous. As the owner and operator of
an aircraft you are responsible for the safety of your passenger and yourself.

2.6 WEIGHT LIMITATIONS Rotax 912 ULS
Empty weight 325 Kg
Maximum fuel weight 77 Kg
Maximum allowed weight in baggage compartment 16 Kg
Maximum Take Off Weight 570 Kg
2.7 CENTER OF GRAVITY LIMITATIONS
With the purpose to achieving the best performances of flight and operations in complete
safety, according to the procedures described in this manual, the aircraft must have
employed respecting all the schemes of load and balancing pointed out in the following
pages.
Pilot must consider the limit of weighing and all correlated parameters.
Before the delivery of the airplane, center gravity position and weight of the airplane are
verified.
NOTE: Empty weight & Center gravity position must be updated after a new weighing, in the
following case:
- Substitution and/or modify of one or plus accessories and equipment;
- After painting or reparations of fuselage.
Weight and Center Gravity position must be recorded after every change to the weighing
report inside this manual only by authorized personnel. The weighing report must be
recalculated and reissued if the empty weight changes by more than 0.5% of MTOW or 10
kg whichever is greater of the empty weight.
The location of the CG can be defined by reference to the % MAC.
Maximum anterior limit: 27% M.A.C. correspondent to 377 mms
Maximum back limit: 36% M.A.C. correspondent to 504 mms
For methodology and conditions for weight and balance procedure, see section 6.

2.8 MANOEUVRE LIMITATIONS
All aerobatics maneuvers are prohibited.
The normal flight operations permitted are as follows:
- Every connected maneuver to the normal flight operation,
- Stalls, with exclusion of the accelerated stall (superior to 1 g)
- Low speed figure eight, chandelle, turns below 60°
The use of the aircraft has to conform with the Rules of the State within it flies
WARNING: Flight in known icing conditions, snow and heavy rain is prohibited.
The pilot is responsible for determining the airworthiness of the aircraft before each flight
including on board fuel level verification.
All maneuvers at load factor less than - 0.5 g must be performed for no longer than 5
seconds.
In single pilot operation, belt and shoulder harness of the vacant seat must be secured to
avoid uncontrolled movement of seat back and belt.
2.9 LOAD FACTOR LIMITATIONS
The load factors limit used for the calculation of the structures are conforming to CS-VLA
rules:
Flap retracted Flap extended
- Maximum positive load factor 3.8 (+) - Maximum positive load factor 2.0 (+)
- Maximum negative load factor 1.9 (-) - Maximum negative load factor 0.0 (+)
2.10 OPENING CANOPY LIMITATIONS
During flight, engine operation and taxi operation the canopy must remain closed and
securely locked via the 4-point hook locking system. The only exception is if the optional
"taxi open system", safety locking mechanism has been fitted, in this case it is possible to
slightly maintain the canopy open only during taxi and ground operations.
WARNING: during the flight is absolutely forbidden to hold the canopy in any position other
than in the securely locked mode. Never try to open the canopy during the flight!
