Disclaimer
All performance data are based on an airplane weight at 1200 lbs; standard atmospheric conditions; rough terrain runway and no wind. These are calculated values derived from flight tests conducted by ASI under carefully documented conditions as per CAA requirements. ASI reserves the right to alter these specifications and actual performance may vary with individual planes and numerous factors affecting flight performance.
