WEIGHT & BALANCE
Reference
Datum
An imaginary vertical plane from
which all horizontal distances are
measured for balance purposes.
Station
A location along the airplane fuselage usually given
in terms of distance from the reference datum.
Arm
The horizontal distance from the reference
datum to the center of gravity (C.G.) of an item.
Moment
The product of the weight of an item multiplied
by its arm (Moment divided by a constant
is used to simplify balance calculations
by reducing the number of digits.)
Airplane
Center of
Gravity (CG)
The point at which an airplane would balance
if suspended. Its distance from the reference
datum is found by dividing the total moment
by the total weight of the airplane.
CG Arm
The arm obtained by adding the
airplane’s individual moments and
dividing the sum by the total weight.
CG Limits
The extreme center of gravity locations
within which the airplane must be
operated at a given weight.
Usable Fuel
Fuel available for flight planning.
Unusable Fuel
Fuel remaining after a runout test
has been completed in accordance
with governmental regulations.
Standard
Empty Weight
Weight of a standard airplane including
unusable fuel, full operating fluids and full oil.
Basic Empty
Weight
Standard Empty Weight plus optional equipment.
Payload
Weight of occupants, cargo and baggage.
Useful Load
Difference between Take-off Weight (or Ramp
Weight, if applicable) and Basic Empty Weight.
Maximum
Ramp Weight
Maximum weight approved for ground
maneuvering. {It includes weight of
start, taxi, and take-off fuel).
Maximum
Take-off
Weight
Maximum weight approved for liftoff.
Maximum
Landing
Weight
Maximum weight approved for
the landing touchdown.
Maximum
Zero Fuel
Weight
Maximum weight exclusive of usable fuel.
Tare
The weight of chocks, blocks, stands, etc., used
on the scales when weighing an airplane.
Leveling
Points
Those points which are used during the
weighing process to level the airplane.
Jack Points
Points on the airplane identified by the
manufacturer as suitable for supporting the
airplane for weighing or other purposes.
POWER
Take-off and
Maximum
Continuous
Highest power rating not limited by time.
Maximum
Normal
Operating
Power (MNOP)
Highest power rating within the normal operating
range. Noise characteristics requirements of FAR
36 have been demonstrated at this power rating.
Cruise Climb
Power recommended for cruise climb.
ENGINE CONTROLS AND INSTRUMENTS
Throttle
Control
Used to control power by introducing
fuel-air mixture into the intake passages
of the engine. Settings are reflected by
readings on the manifold pressure gage.
Propeller
Control
This control requests the propeller governor to
maintain engine/propeller rpm at a selected
value by controlling propeller blade angle.
Mixture
Control
This control is used to set fuel flow in
all modes of operation and cuts off fuel
completely for engine shut down.
EGT
(Exhaust Gas
Temperature
Indicator)
This indicator is used to identify the lean
and best power fuel flow mixtures for
various power settings during cruise.
Tachometer
Indicates the rpm of the engine/propeller.
Propeller
Governor
Regulates the rpm of the engine/
propeller by increasing or decreasing the
propeller pitch through a pitch change
mechanism in the propeller hub.
AIRPLANE PERFORMANCE
AND FLIGHT PLANNING
Climb Gradient
The ratio of the change in height during a
portion of a climb, to the horizontal distance
traversed in the same time interval.
Demonstrated
Crosswind
Velocity
The demonstrated crosswind velocity is
the velocity of the crosswind component
for which adequate control of the airplane
during takeoff and landing was actually
demonstrated during certification tests.
The value shown is not limiting.
MEA
Minimum enroute IFR altitude.
Route Segment
A part of a route. Each end of that part
is identified by: (1) a geographical
location; or (2) a point at which a
definite radio fix can be established.
GPH
U.S. Gallons per hour.
