Source notes & conditions
  • The source has separate gross-weight and light-weight performance columns. The light-weight test mass is not stated; it is not treated as a gross-weight result.
  • The brochure repeats the 75%-power label on its second light-weight cruise row (180 mph). That ambiguous row is not imported as an economy-cruise measurement.
  • Maximum useful load is published as a 1,050-1,100 lb range. No single numeric useful_load_lb is assigned.
  • The brochure gives takeoff and landing distances without an obstacle-height definition. They are not relabeled as ground rolls.
  • Engine power range is 210-260 hp; the narrative describes a 260 hp IO-540. The performance tables do not explicitly assign a tested engine power.
  • The linked file is the source provided in the user reference tab; source URL path is not treated as its publication date.
