FLIGHT MANUAL Section 3, Page 7 Unsecured cockpit canopy If the „Before takeoff“ checklist is performed insufficiently (Section 4.5.5., point 13. Canopy of cockpit), there is a danger of partial cockpit canopy latching and insufficient locking. The canopy is equipped with a lock on the upper rear section of the frame and it is secured by the lock lever shot backwards. The lock pin is projected as latch with compression spring. The gap approx. 8-12 mm will be rise between fuselage and cockpit canopy, which is constant during straight line flight without side-slipping due to the air flow and the function of the gas struts. Partial cockpit canopy latching and non locking will stack up by the noise increase due to the agitated air through the gap between fuselage and cockpit canopy. Partial cockpit canopy latching is possible to close safely during straight line flight without side-slipping by the following way according to appropriate stage of flight. 3.8.4.1. During takeoff roll 1. Abort the takeoff, if the cockpit canopy unlatching, unlocking is detected during takeoff roll. 2. Latch and lock the cockpit canopy by normal procedure after stopping. (The cockpit canopy handle pull down and check the cockpit canopy latching and locking by canopy frame and the red ring position) (see Section 7.8). 3.8.4.2. After unstuck or during climbing 1. Safely terminate takeoff. 2. Climb to safety altitude. 3. Fly straight line flight without side-slipping and carry out procedure 3.8.5.3 During level flight. 3.8.4.3. During level flight 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Open the left ventilation sliding window on cockpit canopy. Reduce speed to 65 knots. Hold control stick by one hand. The cockpit canopy handle pull down for cockpit canopy latching and locking. Check the cockpit canopy latching and locking by canopy frame and red ring position. Close the left ventilation sliding window on cockpit canopy. Adjust flight airspeed to cruising speed. WARNING During side-slipping flights (incorrect turn – slipping turn, skidding turn, and side slipping for landing) with partial cockpit canopy latching or non locking due to asymmetrical flow over fuselage by the air flow, the cockpit canopy will be carved through the gap and subsequently will be full open by help of the gas struts. The cockpit canopy will become the braking shield, what will cause abnormal airplane descent due to increased total drag!

Normal procedures associated with optional systems can be found in Section 9. 4.2. Rigging and derigging 4.2.1. Rigging of the wings The airplane has possibility of the wings disassembling for transportation purposes or to save space in the hangar. There is a description for the rigging procedure of the right wing. The procedure for the left wing is analogous. Thoroughly clean and lubricate all the wing fittings and pins before each assembling. 1. Fit the spar end of the wing into the spar end (fork) of the wing central section and push the wing along its longitudinal axis so that a connection slot between the wing central section and the wing root is approx. 100 mm. Connect the hoses from the Pitot probe (only right wing), prepare and adjust the wing fuel tank hoses and connect the wiring for fuel tank conductive connection (if the wing is equipped with fuel tanks) and position lights (Fig. 2). 2. Fully push the wing into the wing central panel and slide the wing tank fuel hoses on their sockets together with theirs clamps. Carefully insert the wing flap lever on the wing flap hinge. Take care of the hoses from the Pitot probe (only right wing) and for fuel hoses (if the wing is equipped with fuel tanks) which must not be twisted! 3. Insert wing's pins to connect wing spar with the wing central section. The outer wing pin is inserted through the access hole on the lower wing surface. The inner wing pin is inserted from the cockpit interior (slightly lift and lower the wing tip to ease the pin's insertion). 4. Insert rear spar into the fitting of the central section's rear spar. Secure all 6 pins with safety pins (Fig. 3a and Fig. 3b). 5. Connect the wing flap lever with the wing flap hinge. Connect the flap control rod to the wing flap lever using the wing flap rod pin. During this procedure the flap control lever in the cockpit shall be set to the rearmost position and the wing flap shall be deflected to maximum down position (Fig. 4). 6. Connect the aileron control rod 2 with the aileron control rod 1 and secure the nut (Fig. 3a) with the safety pin. Tight the fuel hose clamps (if the wing is equipped with fuel tanks). 7. Stick the adhesive tape on the gap between wing and wing centre section. 8. Repeat the procedure with the second wing. After checking the security of the all connection. The connection slot between wing and the wing centre section should be sealed with sticky tape. WARNING After rigging of the wings check for correct operation and security of the aileron control pins and the flap control pins as well as the connection of the hoses from the Pitot probe and fuel hoses!

Takeoff and landing within crosswind Operation in direct crosswinds of 12,4 m/s (24 knots) has been demonstrated. Takeoffs under strong crosswind conditions normally are performed with the minimum flap setting (position 0 or 1) necessary for the field length, to minimize the drift angle immediately after takeoff. With the ailerons partially deflected into the wind, the airplane is accelerated to a speed slightly higher than normal, then the elevator control is used to quickly, but carefully; lift the airplane off the ground and to prevent possible settling back to the runway while drifting. When clear of the ground, make a coordinated turn into the wind to correct for drift and continue in takeoff. When landing in a strong crosswind, use the minimum flap setting (position 1 or 2 maximum, never position 3) required for the field length. Although the crab or combination method of drift correction may be used, the wing low method gives the best control. After touchdown, hold a straight course with the steerable nose wheel, with aileron deflection as applicable and occasional braking if necessary. 4.5.15. Aero towing See 2.15 "Other limitations" for aero towing. Takeoff and climbing with towed glider up to MTOW 410 kg do with flaps in position 15°. At safe height (minimum 164 ft) retract the wing flap. Takeoff and climbing with towed glider with water ballast or from MTOW 410 kg up to MTOW 750 kg do with flaps in position 0°. WARNING Take care for maximum towing speed of towed glider! CAUTION After release of the glider the maximum speed for retracting rope is 86 knots (when retracting mechanism is installed)! WARNING When appropriate and necessary, use guillotine lever of tow rope (when retracting mechanism is installed)!

FLIGHT MANUAL Section 6, Page 2 Introduction This section contains the payload range with which the aircraft may be safely operated. CG position is very important parameter which affects the safety of flight. 6.2. Weighting procedure To define the airplane CG it is necessary to weigh the empty airplane with standard and optional equipment, with operating fluids of the engine but without the fuel in the fuel tanks (for empty weight and empty moment see Weight and balance record). The airplane is weighted with the help of three weighting-machines located under the left and right main wheels and under the nose wheel. The airplane position for weighting has to be adjusted to be levelled the side edge of the cockpit. The reference point (RP) is leading edge of wing root section where wing-fuselage radius starts. Measure the distance from datum point to centre of main landing wheel axle and nose wheel axle. The leading edge of Mean Aerodynamic Chord (MAC) is located in distance 77 mm rearward from RP. CG position is expressed as a distance from MAC leading edge ( (mm)) and as a MAC ratio ( (% MAC)). CG position after loading of airplane (crew, fuel and baggage or additional equipment) can be calculated as follows (see CALCULATION OF FLIGHT CG POSITION in Section 6.3): 1. Determine the partial weights of crew , fuel *, baggage and add them to empty weight to get total weight . 2. Calculate the partial moments of crew , fuel *, baggage and add them to empty moment to get total moment . 3. Calculate the position of CG on MAC (in mm). Calculate the position of CG on MAC (in %MAC) 4. Check if the flight CG is inside of allowed range (For safety flight it must be considered that the fuel is consumed during flight what results in moving of CG forward!). * Be careful to use fuel weight (in kg) not fuel volume (in litres)!

Airframe WT9 Dynamic LSA Club LT is a single engine aircraft, controlled aerodynamically, made of advanced composite material, low-wing monoplane with two side-by side seats. The airplane is equipped with a fixed tricycle undercarriage. Fuselage: The fuselage sandwich shell is divided in the symmetry plane. The shell is of three layer construction. The external and internal shell layers are made of glass and carbon fibre fabrics, which are saturated with a resin. Between them there is a filling of hard foam panels. The fin is made together with the fuselage. The wing central panel is fixed at the fuselage. There are two places in the cockpit, side by side type. The interior width is 1,15 m. A lifting cockpit canopy hinges forward. The canopy opening system is assisted by a gas strut. The wing central panel with span 2,45 m is fixed at the fuselage. There is an integral tank in the forward box of the wing central panel. Wing: The tapered wing is a monospar construction with a rear auxiliary spar for the aileron and flap attachments. The main spar caps are made from carbon rovings. The slotted flaps are rectangular sandwich construction. The flap is attached to the wing with four hinges. The aileron is attached to the upper surface of the wing with three hinges. The spars of right and left wings are joined to the wing central panel spar with the help of two pins. The third connecting point is the pin in the rear auxiliary spar. An aileron control system consists of duraluminium rods. The control handle of flaps is attached to the top of central tunnel in the cockpit. The movement by help of the rods and the bellcranks is transmitted to the flap's torsion tube in the wing, next the movement from the flap's torsion tube is transmitted to the flaps. Optional wing fuel tanks are integral part of wing structure. They are connected with central section tanks with simple hose connection and tightened with clamps. Horizontal tail unit: The horizontal tail unit consists of a stabilizer and elevator. The stabilizer consists of sandwich shells from advanced composite material. The stabilizer is fixed at the fin. The width of the horizontal tail unit is 2,4 m, (similar width as the wing central panel) and allows the transport of the fuselage with regular truck. The elevator consists of two parts, which are joined together by help of the elevator control. Vertical tail unit: The vertical tail unit consists of the fin and rudder and has trapezoidal shape. The rudder consists of a sandwich shell from advanced composite material. The rudder is attached by three hinges at the fin. Date of revision: 16.07.2012 Revision: 0 WT9 Dynamic LSA Club LT 7.3. FLIGHT MANUAL Section 7, Page 3 Flight controls The aircraft has dual controls with two control sticks. The ailerons are controlled by control sticks, connecting rods and arms. The elevator is controlled by control sticks, connecting rods. The rudder is controlled by steel cables attached at the rudder pedals and guided alongside the fuselage sides to the rudder. The rudder pedals position is adjustable (see Maintenance Manual, Directional control system, page 1-22). The wing flaps are controlled by a flap lever located on the top of central tunnel manually. The slotted link allows four positions of the flaps: retracted, takeoff (flaps deflection 15°), landing position (flap deflection 24°) and landing position (flap deflection 35°). Movement with help of rods and bellcranks is transmitted onto the flap's torsion tube and from the flap's torsion tube is transmitted onto the flaps with help of the rod.

FLIGHT MANUAL Section 7, Page 8 Powerplant Powerplant consists of 4 cylinder horizontally opposed 4-stroke engine ROTAX 912 ULS and a 3-bladed in flight electrically adjustable propeller WOODCOMP SR2000D. These engines are suitable for aircraft, but they must never fly at locations, airspeeds, altitudes, or in any other circumstances from which a successful no-power landing cannot be made, after sudden engine stoppage. Engine: ROTAX 912 ULS is 4-stroke, 4 cylinders horizontally opposed, spark ignition engine, one central camshaft-push-rods-OHV. Combined liquid cooled cylinder heads and ram air cooled cylinders. Dry sump forced lubrication. The engine is fitted with an electric starter, AC generator, mechanical fuel pump and the reduction gear with integrated shock absorber (Fig. 10). For more information regarding ROTAX 912 ULS see the Operator’s Manual for engine ROTAX 912 ULS. WARNING Due to carburettors, flying in icing conditions is prohibited! The periodic inspections must be performed according to the maintenance schedule (see the Maintenance Manual for ROTAX 912 ULS). There are two laminated cowlings (upper and lower) which cover the engine compartment. The disassembly and assembly of the upper cowling is easy – just release the quick-closing locks. The upper cowling is usually removed during engine pre-flight inspection to check the engine compartment, operating fluids quantity (oil, coolant) and to check engine installation. After removing the upper cowling of the engine, check the following: 1. Oil quantity check: Remove the cover of the oil tank. The oil level in the oil tank should be between two marks (max./min.) on the dip-stick, but must never fall below the min. mark. 2. Coolant quantity check: Remove the cover of the expansion tank. The coolant level in the overflow bottle should be between min. and max. mark. The lower cowling is removed after unscrewing of attachment screws connecting the cooler to the cowling face side, and then unscrew the attachment screws connecting the cowling to the firewall border.

FLIGHT MANUAL Section 7, Page 12 Fuel system The integral fuel tanks are located in the forward box of the wing central panel and in wing's leading edge. The fuel system scheme is shown at figure below (Fig. 12). The fuel is fed to engine driven fuel pump through the fuel selector located inside the cockpit below the instrument panel from the left or right fuel tank (in dependence on position of fuel selector). Fuel line between left fuel tank and fuel selector is equipped with an electric fuel pump. Engine driven fuel pump supplies the fuel into the carburettors through the fuel flow meter. Unconsumed fuel flows back through the return piping into the left fuel tank. In the fuel system is installed also fuel pressure sensor. Fuel tank vent pipe is outgoing from the upper part of each fuel tank, proceeds along the rescue system board, inside of central tunnel and discharge through the lower surface of fuselage in front of main beam. Fuel quantity indicators indicate the amount of fuel in left and right fuel tank. Red light annunciators will be illuminated when 7 litres of fuel remain in corresponding fuel tank. Fig. 12 The fuel system diagram CAUTION Electric fuel pump running when the left fuel tank is not selected can cause its damage! NOTE The tanks in wings are connected with the fuselage tanks with a hose. The hose diameter is not enough to fill the fuselage tank from wing tank when refuelling. Please wait when the fuel from the wing tank comes into the fuselage tank, and then fill up till the wing tanks are full! Date of revision: 16.07.2012 Revision: 0 WT9 Dynamic LSA Club LT FLIGHT MANUAL Section 7, Page 13 The left tank must be used for all takeoffs and landings. When you are flying with full tanks, use the left tank for 30 – 40 minutes before changing to the right tank. This makes space in the left tank for the return of unconsumed fuel without venting it overboard. Monitor the fuel quantity when you are doing long flights or flights with low fuel quantity. To maximize range/endurance when the red annunciator lights flash (7 litters of fuel in each fuel tank), the following procedure is recommended: 1. Select the right tank and use this tank until all the fuel is consumed. 2. Change back to the left tank where more than 7 litres of fuel due to fuel return is. (7 litres of fuel allows approximately 20 minutes of flying depending on power settings). 3. Continue flying and landing procedure with the electric fuel pump on as written in this manual. NOTE When the fuel tank annunciator starts to flash there is about 7 litres of fuel in the fuel tank what allows approximately 20 minutes of flying depending on power settings! 7.11. Electrical system There are electrical system diagrams in the Maintenance Manual for the airplane WT9 Dynamic LSA Club LT. The wiring system depends on instrumentation and other electric equipment of an individual airplane according to a customer’s desire. The dual engine ignition is a separate part of the electric system. Each of two ignition circuits has its own break switch. The detailed description of the ignition and the AC generator is listed at the Operator’s Manual for ROTAX 912 ULS engine. 7.12. Pitot and static pressure system The Pitot probe for the airspeed indicator is located bellow the right wing. Pressure distribution to individual instruments in the cockpit is done through flexible plastic hoses. The static pressure receivers are located on the both sides of the fuselage behind the cockpit. Keep the system clear to assure its right function. 7.13. Avionics The following avionics are mounted in the airplane: radio and intercom. This equipment must be connected with the headphones and with the antenna. The airplane might be equipped with other instruments such as GPS, transponder, board computer. These flight and navigation instruments are mounted as an option of the customer (see Section 9). For right operation of the instruments and for more details see the corresponding manuals supplied with installed instruments. Date of revision: 16.07.2012 Revision: 0 WT9 Dynamic LSA Club LT 7.14.

FLIGHT MANUAL Section 8, Page 2 Introduction This section contains factory recommended procedures for proper ground handling and servicing of the airplane. It also identifies certain inspection and maintenance requirements which must be followed if the airplane is to retain that new-plane performance and dependability. It is wise to follow a planned schedule of lubrication and preventive maintenance based on climatic and flying conditions encountered. The airframe surfaces should be protected with light plastic foil or cloth cover against dust. All engine intakes, vents, the fuel vents and pitot static system should be covered before long term airplane parking or storing, due to contamination by foreign objects (insects, birds). The external surfaces of the airplane should be washed with a sufficient quantity of the water and an adequate quantity of detergent. Do not apply petrol or chemical solvents for cleaning the external surfaces of the airplane. It is advisable to park the airplane inside a hangar or eventually inside other weather-proof space with stable temperature, good ventilation, low humidity and dust-free environment. The parking place should be protected against possible damage caused by sun radiation, humidity and wind. Sunbeams reflected through the canopy can magnify and may cause spot heating, which can create damage to the cockpit area and the upholstery. 8.2. Airplane inspection periods 8.2.1.

FLIGHT MANUAL Section 8, Page 5 Airplane alterations or repairs It is essential that the responsible airworthiness authority be contacted prior to any alterations on the airplane to ensure that the airworthiness of the airplane is not violated. For repairs refer to the applicable Maintenance Manual. The operator is allowed replace parts supplied by the producer only. The repairs to damaged skin must be carried out by qualified staff in accordance with approved procedures. WARNING After airplane repairs, repainting or mounting of additional instruments or equipment it is necessary to check weights and CG positions! 8.4. Ground handling / Road transport The airplanes can suffer higher stress loads on the ground than in the air. In this case it can result a potential menace of the safety, as the airplane construction is designed for the manoeuvring load. The high aircraft normal accelerations are occurred at the hard landing, during the taxiing at the rough surface and during the driving through a hole at road. Don’t use unnecessary transportation in the road. CAUTION The airplane is equipped with mooring eyes which are screwed into the threaded hubs on the wing lower surface located approx. half way along the wing. It is also necessary to moor the nose wheel landing gear! CAUTION Push or pull the airplane from the propeller blade root only, never at the wing tips or the control surfaces! 8.5. Cleaning and care Regular cleaning and care of the powerplant, propeller, wings and the airframe is the first consideration for safe and efficient operation. Cleaning and care should be based on climatic and flying conditions. The exterior painted surfaces should be cleaned with clear water using a sponge or soft cotton towel and chamois. These surfaces should also be protected with a silicone free hard wax reapplied at least once a year by hand or with a rotating cloth disc. Clean the Plexiglass canopy only as necessary using a soft cotton towel and clear water mixed with a small amount of mild detergent. Protect the canopy with anti-static cleaning agents which are made specifically for Plexiglas. Date of revision: 16.07.2012 Revision: 0 WT9 Dynamic LSA Club LT FLIGHT MANUAL Section 8, Page 6 CAUTION Do not clean the canopy with alcohol, acetone or lacquer thinner, because the canopy is made from acrylic. Acrylic becomes fragile after contact with these liquids! 8.6. Winter operation The cooling system of the cylinder heads is filled with a mixture of anti-freeze and water, which protects the cooling system against freezing up to -38 °C. Check coolant with dense meter or glycol tester before winter operation to prevent the failure of the radiator or cooling system due to ice. If the temperature is below this value, the coolant must be drained or renewed with pure anti-freeze liquid. The coolant must be renewed every two years. Use only coolant according to the current Operator’s Manual for ROTAX 912 ULS. If low cylinder head or oil temperatures occur during operation under low outside temperature, then the following is recommended: Cover a part of radiator face by a duralumin sheet or drawing paper of appropriate dimensions, insert it between the radiator and the bottom engine cowling. Cover the oil cooler face or a part of the face only, by a duralumin sheet or drawing paper attached with a suitable adhesive tape (or bend the oil cooler with that tape) and lag the oil tank. CAUTION The temperature limits of the coolant, cylinder heads and oil must be checked after these arrangements! I winter operation is advisable to disconnect the ventilation intake hose (VIH) (Fig. 13) due the better performance of heating system. After disconnecting the ventilation intake hose close the socket for the hose. Otherwise the ram air will be lost through this opening.
