Dear Sirius Owner:
Congratulations on the purchase of your TL-3000 Sirius which is the result
of many years of development by our company. We strive to be the leading
designer of quality aircraft worldwide. You will find your new Sirius aircraft very
enjoyable, extremely economical, and easy to maintain.
The Sirius is the ideal Light Sport Airplane. It is fast, economical, pleasing to the
eye, and user friendly. We at TL Aircraft are certain that your Sirius will give you
hours and hours of leisure flying and enjoyment. With this Pilot Operating
Handbook (POH), we hope to help inform you about the design and operation of
your aircraft.
This Pilot Operating Handbook is to be used as a guide to assist the pilot to safely
use the Sirius aircraft. The contents are not intended to be a final authority and
although proofed extensively they are still not considered error free. Therefore, the
pilot in command is the final authority for the safe operation of the aircraft. Should
there be any questions or errors found in reading this handbook please contact us
immediately and we will issue a clarification.
I believe that your airplane will be very satisfying and provide you with years of
pure enjoyment. Please study and become familiar with this POH manual and the
respective manuals for the propeller and rescue system.
