Overview

The ZLIN Z-526 L is a single-engine piston aircraft from Zlin (Otrokovice). The L is one variant in the Z 526 family. Family registry data shows up to 2 occupants, up to 900 kg MTOW, up to 105 kt cruise, up to 250 nm range and a 17000 ft ceiling. Those are family maxima, not confirmed L figures. The only document supplied is the Z 526 service bulletin list, so this guide is mostly an inspection checklist.

  • Family-level maxima only: up to 2 occupants, 900 kg MTOW, 105 kt cruise, 250 nm range, 17000 ft ceiling. Confirm L figures in the flight manual.
  • Two bulletins apply to all Z 526L aircraft: Z 526/32 (spar weld pressure gauge) and Z 526/51 (mandatory Hartzell propeller check).
  • Mandatory bulletins on structure, hoses and corrosion also cover the L; ask for proof of compliance for each.
  • The bulletin list gives no L performance, weights or V-speeds, so none are stated here.
