Allowable Takeoff Weight Boosted To 1,800 Pounds
SkyRunner, manufacturer of the MK 3.2 Light Sport Aircraft (LSA), announced that the FAA has granted an exemption for a gross weight increase for the SkyRunner to accommodate added safety features. Under Exemption No. 15422A, the MK 3.2 allowable takeoff weight will increase to 1,800 pounds, providing a useful load of 580-pounds. The approval for increased takeoff weight is due to SkyRunner's unique design and innovative operational safety features, not found on typical PPC's or light sport aircraft.
