The German type registration is the basis for other national registrations. The SC07 are basically sold with a registration in the respective country. This registration has to be arranged by the representative and is included in the selling price. We estimate to have the final German registration by middle of 2009. The SC07 had to pass rigorous static tests to apply for German certification. On top of the basic load, which is +/- 4G, B.O.T Aircraft had to perform tests at a higher basic load due to forces applied at high speed in turbulent air. This higher basic load amounts to +/- 4.4G and allows us to fly in turbulent air at over 200km/h. The German authorities meanwhile requested us to perform the tests with a security margin of 190%. Together with the security margin, the basic load of +/- 4.4G results into +/- 8.36G. Tremendous loads for the structure of the SC07 Speed Cruiser.
B.O.T. Aircraft realized that floats, glider towing and even a registration according to ELA1 or LSA could be achieved. So we decided to test the SC07 Speed Cruiser not only for a MTOW of 472.5kg for ultra lights, but also for 517kg for ultra lights with floats and for 600kg according to LSA or expected ELA1 rules. Totally we calculated for the entire structure of the aircraft 480 cases of loads and performed the tests accordingly, during these tests one aircraft was totally destroyed, for the safety of our customers. For ultra light aircraft, a most probably never achieved level of security till today.
