Shark Aero Shark weight and balance & performance calculator
The Shark Aero Shark is a two-seat light sport / ultralight aircraft with retractable gear and piston engine. BriefingPal has 1 model of the Shark Aero Shark on file – Shark 600 (UL/LSA) – with data from the Pilot's Operating Handbook for weight and balance, takeoff and landing distances, climb and cruise. Free, no sign-up.
* Shark 600 (UL/LSA), MTOW, sea level / 6,500 ft, ISA – details below
Calculate the Shark Aero Shark weight, CG and takeoff distance
Your own empty mass (weighing report, optional)
The POH has no standard empty moment for this model – enter the empty mass CG from your weighing report to get the CG.
Leave empty to use the typical POH empty mass. Your aircraft's weighing report is what counts.
Calculated on the BriefingPal server from the POH data. Nothing is stored, no cookie. Planning aid only – the POH/AFM and your weighing report are authoritative.
Shark Aero Shark key figures by model
| Model | Built | MTOW | Empty mass¹ | Usable fuel | Max. baggage | Useful load with full fuel¹ |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Shark 600 (UL/LSA) | 2018–today | 600 kg (1,323 lb) | 330 kg (728 lb) | 26.2 US gal (99 L) | 55 kg (121 lb) | 199 kg (438 lb) |
¹ Typical empty mass from the POH sample loading; your aircraft's current weighing report applies. Useful load = MTOW − empty mass − usable fuel (people, baggage, oil if not included).
Shark Aero Shark takeoff and landing distance
BriefingPal result at MTOW, sea level, 15 °C, no wind, dry paved runway, normal takeoff and landing per POH with the app's default flap setting, without safety factor:
| Model | Takeoff ground roll | Takeoff over 50 ft | Landing over 50 ft | Landing ground roll |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Shark 600 (UL/LSA) | 190 m (620 ft) | 395 m (1,300 ft) | 330 m (1,080 ft) | 180 m (590 ft) |
Hot and high: at 5,000 ft and 25 °C (density altitude about 7,300 ft) the Shark 600 (UL/LSA) needs about 545 m (1,790 ft) to clear 50 ft – 38 % more than at sea level. Calculate density altitude →
In BriefingPal you enter your actual weight, airfield, temperature and wind. The app reads the POH charts for these conditions, compares the result with TORA/LDA of the selected runway and can add a 1.15 safety factor.
Shark Aero Shark climb and cruise performance
| Model | Rate of climb at sea level | Time / fuel to 6,500 ft | Cruise TAS at 6,500 ft | Fuel flow |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Shark 600 (UL/LSA) | 1,230 fpm | 6 min / 0.8 US gal | 152 kt | 5.3 US gal/h (20 L/h) |
MTOW, ISA, default power setting of the POH cruise table. Values change with weight, temperature and the power you choose in the app.

How to calculate Shark Aero Shark weight and balance
- Choose the Shark Aero SharkType the registration or pick Shark.Aero → Shark Aero Shark → your model. Stored weighing data of the registration are used automatically.
- Enter people, baggage and fuelWeights in kg or lb, fuel in US gallons or litres. MTOW and every station limit are checked instantly.
- Check the CG envelopeTakeoff, zero-fuel and landing points are drawn into the Shark Aero Shark envelope from the POH.
- Add airfields and routeTakeoff and landing distances, climb, cruise and fuel follow from the same weight – then print the briefing PDF.
Shark Aero Shark – frequently asked questions
What is the maximum takeoff weight (MTOW) of the Shark Aero Shark?
Shark 600 (UL/LSA): 600 kg (1,323 lb).
How much usable fuel does the Shark Aero Shark carry?
Shark 600 (UL/LSA): 26.2 US gal (99 L).
What is the useful load of the Shark Aero Shark with full fuel?
With the typical POH empty mass and full usable fuel: Shark 600 (UL/LSA): 199 kg (438 lb). Your aircraft's real empty mass is in its weighing report – BriefingPal can store it per registration.
How long is the Shark Aero Shark takeoff distance?
Shark 600 (UL/LSA) at MTOW, sea level, 15 °C, no wind: ground roll about 190 m (620 ft), over 50 ft about 395 m (1,300 ft). At 5,000 ft and 25 °C it grows to about 545 m (1,790 ft). Always check the POH for your exact conditions.
Is there a free Shark Aero Shark weight and balance calculator?
Yes. BriefingPal is free and needs no account. It covers 1 model of the Shark Aero Shark, draws the CG envelope from the POH and also computes takeoff and landing distances, climb, cruise and fuel – with a briefing PDF.
Data source
All figures come from the manufacturer's Pilot's Operating Handbook / Airplane Flight Manual of each model (weight and balance section and performance section) and are computed with the BriefingPal engine. BriefingPal is a planning aid; the original POH/AFM of your aircraft and its weighing report remain authoritative.
