- For basic data of recommended entry speed and related g‐loads of the SZD-54-2 PERKOZ refer to Flight Manual Chapter 4.6.9.
- The glider must always be flown under the limitations as per its Flight Manual.
- Always fly inside the flight envelope!
- VS1 is a stall speed for sailplane’s configuration (cabin’s load/MTOM)

The SZD-54-2 PERKOZ two-seater glider has two different wing spans and wing ends, making it versatile beyond aerobatics. The aerobatic glider has a wingspan of 17.5 meters and flat wing ends. The glider can be extended with winglets in the 17.5 meter version for training and cross-country flights. The 20 meter wingspan extension with winglets significantly improves the cross-country performance with a glide ratio of 42.
