AEROPRAKT AIRCRAFT

downward. The seats, which tilt forward for luggage access have storage pockets behind the backrests and are adjustable fore and aft using a spring locator at the front of the seat.

There is an all-flying tail plane (stabilator) with an anti-servo tab. There are three main reasons for introducing an all-flying tail plane on the A32, a first on an Aeroprakt aircraft. First, control forces and trim drag are reduced. Second, an all-flying tail is simpler to produce; fewer moving parts means greater reliability. Finally, it has some aerodynamic advantages over a fixed stabiliser / elevator combination enabling more precise control of the aircraft, particularly when taking off and landing.
