13. Modern Avionics such as Dual Dynons

14. Bristell Wings with heart
Amazing avionics

15. Reliable push pull control rods
Keep them lubricated

16. Large tie down ring accepts most ropes.
Reliable all metal fuel vents and lines

17. Large NACA air vents provides plenty of fresh air for a cool cabin.

18. Stores Two Airline Style Carry on Bags-hard to reach
Cruises Comfortably At 135 mph on 5 Gallons of 91 Octane Auto Fuel or 100LL.
Has an Allen screw on the underside of the horizontal stabilizer that must be tight.
Your A&P must torque the gear leg bolts every 100 hours

19. Tecnam Negatives
Carburetor air boxes are not installed on Tecnams or Vans RV-12 be careful!!
Vent lines are made of plastic and can collapse.
The Nose wheel is weak-do not brake in turns
The electric trim box gets wet if exposed to rain.
The tie down ring is small-carry 3/8” ropes.

20. The 100 HP Rotax Engine has a 2000 hour TBO
A carburetor air box is recommended by Rotax and is standard on all Sport Cruisers and Remos aircraft.
Tecnam does not install a carb air box
Simple…no mixture

21. Rotax 912 ULS-100 HP Burns only 5 gph Electric Starting packs
Internal Stator produces 18 amps continuous electricity
Dual aneroid carbs
Gear box
High compression
Weighs only 128 lbs

22. Rotax 912 ULS-100 HP Requires 50 C / 120 degrees F prior to takeoff
Keep CHT below 240 deg F on climb out
It is okay to reduce power in the climb to keep temps under 240 degrees F
It is okay to climb at 90 KIAS to keep CHT temperatures below 240 deg F

23. Many LSA stall below 30 knots The SPORT CRUISER Stalls at 28 KIA Keep your speed up on takeoff to maintain control.

24. LIGHT SPORT AIRCRAFT MUST BE FLOWN ON TO THE RUNWAY
LIGHT SPORT AIRCRAFT MUST BE FLOWN ON TO THE RUNWAY. DO NOT LAND USING A FULL STALL TECHNIQUE.

25. . The POH has the recommended approach speed.
Our industry has historically used 1.3 times Vso as guide for a safe approach speed.
For our light weight LSA a better formula is 1.5 times Vso.
The Sport Cruiser’s Vso is 28 knots. 1.5 times Vso would have you approach at 42 KIAS.
55 KIAS on approach is better with a touch down speed of 40 knots.

26. DO NOT FLY WHEN THE CROSSWIND EXCEEDS 6 KNOTS UNTIL YOU HAVE 10 HOURS IN AN LSA

27. THERE IS NOT ENOUGH WIND PASSING OVER THE AILERONS TO CONTROL AN LSA IN A CROSSWIND IF YOU DO A FULL STALL LANDING

28. DO NOT DO FULL STALL LANDINGS IN AN LSA UNTIL YOU HAVE 10 HOURS IN LSAS AND THEN ONLY WHEN THE WIND IS CALM OR STRAIGHT DOWN THE RUNWAY.

Knobs To Adjust Baro and Heading.
Round or Rectangular Display.

44. Operational Tips

45. Flight Operations Tips
Always move plane by pushing down on tail or better yet, use the tow bar.

46. Flight Operations Tips
Always move plane by pushing down on tail.
Always land on the mains.

47. Flight Operations Tips
Always move plane by pushing down on tail or using the tow bar.
Do not use brakes in a turn in a tecnam.
Takeoff requires a lot of right rudder.

48. Flight Operations Tips
Takeoff flaps are 10 degrees.

49. Flight Operations Tips
Avoid liftoff below 40 knots.

50. Flight Operations Tips
Avoid liftoff below 40 knots.
Vy climb is about 70 knots for most LSA’s.

51. Flight Operations Tips
Avoid liftoff below 40 knots.
Vy climb of 70 knots gives good visibility.
100LL requires minimum of 5000 rpm in cruise to disperse lead.

52. Flight Operations Tips
4000 rpm is normal descent setting.

53. Flight Operations Tips
4000 rpm is normal descent setting.
Full flaps for landings works great.

54. Flight Operations Tips
Final approach at 60 knots
55 knots over the fence
Touch down at 45 knots on the main gear

55. Flight Operations Tips
Land without a crab
Lower the nose only after you have slowed down

56. Flight Operations Tips
Always land on the centerline
Good landings are a result of good approaches.

57. Flight Operations Tips
Aim for the numbers and make your approach at 60 knots

58. Flight Operations Tips
On calm days aim short of the runway

59. Flight Operations Tips
Always land in the first 500 feet.

60. Flight Operations Tips
Slips are more effective if you mush first.

61. Flight Operations Tips
Your approach should be stabilized at 400’ agl.

62. Flight Operations Tips
Do not slip, mush, or add flaps below 400’ agl.

63. Flight Operations Tips
If not stabilized at 100’ agl initiate a go-around.

65. Flight Operations Tips
Excessive approach speed such as 70kts will cause the engine to idle excessively high.

66. Flight Operations Tips
Approach speeds of 70 kts will be okay on a day with a 10 kt headwind, but on a calm day you may need 3000’ to land.

67. Flight Operations Tips
Calm days will require full flap 55 knots and aiming 500 feet before the numbers.

68. Flight Operations Tips
A power on approach at 50 knots will allow landings within 1500 feet.

69. Flight Operations Tips
Always hold the nose wheel off the ground after landings
Let the nose wheel down gently

70. Flight Operations Tips
Speed should be below 15 kts before turning off the runway.

71. Flight Operations Tips
The Tecnam nose wheel is fragile. To avoid damage, never apply brakes in a turn.

72. Flight Operations Tips
Tecnam fuel tanks have plastic vent lines and have collapsed during cruise if one tank is selected .
The Piper Sport has metal vent lines.

73. Flight Operations Tips
Burn on one tank to correct fuel imbalance.
Use left tank first.

74. Flight Operations Tips
5200 rpm will produce knot cruise at 5.3 gph fuel burn.

75. Flight Operations Tips
When using 100 LL you must cruise at 5000 RPM to avoid lead build up in the engine.

76. Flight Operations Tips
Maneuvering speed (Va) is about 93 KIAS and should be used when flying in rough air.

77. Flight Operations Tips
Smooth air cruise of knots is normal.
