Sorry! That was a typo. Should have been:

Span Loading not more than 0.62 psf

How does the span loading come out in pounds per square foot?

It is calculated as weight divided by the square of the span.
Which, if other posters are correct, is not the normal way to
calculate it.

It was on page 5 of 7, in my reader.

This is criteria for type certification, but it is the standard that
homebuilts must follow to be counted as a motor glider.
