Assembly Manuals and Drawing-Updates from Zenith Aircraft Co. (ZAC)

Pilot Operations Handbook (POH) for your Zenair Design
Zenair does NOT provide a POH for its kit-built aircraft designs. Since each "home-built" aircraft will be equipped differently (engine, prop, fuel capacity, instruments, etc.), it will operate slightly differently. Performance limits (take-off roll, rate of climb, stall, etc.) will vary, as will pilot check lists... It is expected that the builder (the official "manufacturer") will draft his/her own POH based on custom aircraft options and modifications installed, and based on phase 1 flight test results.
For reference purposes, sample Flight Manuals and POH for various Zenair models written by fellow builders are available online on the password-protected "Builder Resources" of Zenith Aircraft Co. (Contact Zenith Aircraft directly for the password; have your serial number ready before calling.)
POH for the various ready-to-fly Zenair models are also available from the manufacturer of these aircraft (see further below). Another potential resource for manuals and checklists is the owners' group.

Change of Aircraft Ownership:
If you plan to obtain a Zenair kit project or kit-built aircraft on the used market, it is important that you also receive all relevant documentation (i.e. the construction drawings!) from the original builder. Make sure to ask for these! In order for new owners to receive customer-support from Zenair, they have to register the transfer of ownership with Zenair. To complete this process, fill-in and return this aircraft ownership form.
Important Note: The level of workmanship can vary greatly from one amateur-built project to the next. Make sure that you or a competent person thoroughly inspect any project prior to purchase. Zenair does not offer inspection services and cannot comment on the value of any "deal". In Europe especially, beware of inexpensive non-conforming copies of Zenair designs (they are remarkably common!). Remember that if a deal is too good to be true, it probably is!
