CEAPR DR 253 history and development
DR 253 is a certificated member of the CEAPR/Robin DR200 / DR220 / DR250 / DR253 family. Certification for this model is listed under EASA Type Certificate Data Sheet EASA.A.367 - DR200 / DR220 / DR250 / DR253 series. These French light-aircraft families include numerous engine, maximum-weight, fuel, propeller and equipment variations. Model-specific values that have not been verified are left unspecified rather than copied from related variants.
CEAPR DR 253 fuel capacity
exact model-specific fuel capacity / usable fuel has not yet been verified from the applicable EASA type-certificate section, approved flight manual, or manufacturer data. Do not infer it from a neighboring CEAPR/Robin model or suffix.
CEAPR DR 253 model applicability and configuration
Verify exact model designation, serial number, installed engine, propeller, fuel system and approved configuration against the applicable EASA TCDS/AFM and individual aircraft documentation.
CEAPR DR 253 weight and balance
Use the exact model/serial-number loading data and the individual aircraft's approved weight-and-balance record. No baggage limit is inferred from a related CEAPR/Robin model. The exact model-specific maximum takeoff weight / gross weight remains unverified until the applicable EASA approval section is verified. Operational loading must use the aircraft-specific empty weight, CG, station arms and limitations. Use the approved aircraft-specific documentation and current weight-and-balance record for operational calculations. WBcalc does not currently provide a model-specific DR 253 calculator.
