MM....The A109 GRANDE Gross Wt will be 3150kg as oppossed to the 109E and 109E Elite which is 2850. This resriction is on the U/C configuration. Full fuel at 700kg+ APS 2060kg leaves you just enough weight to allow a 90kg pilot and his sandwich box to make the Max all-up. And that is on a standard day, not a dusty smelly hot and humid Lagos day!!!!................Yep, it's going to be interesting!
