*Note 44 on Record Claim Form*

It is vital to every claim that the takeoff weight is within the FAI Microlight or Paramotor definition requirements in S10 1.3.1 See also S10 5.2.1 Weighing equipment. Not required for Foot-launched classes.

h3. Reason

There is no point in weighing a foot-launched aircraft, as the pilot(s) will never physically be able to carry, let alone launch, an aircraft that is up to the limit or over.
