Cessna 177RG0073, Owner'S Manual

Page: 48 / 85

NOTE
The Weight and Balance Data sheet is
included in the aircraft file. In addition to the
licensed empty weight and moment noted on
this sheet, the e.g. arm (fuselage station) is
shown. The c. g. arm figure need not be used
on the Sample Loading Problem. The moment
shown on the sheet must be divided by 1000
and this value used as the moment/1000 on the
loading problem.
Use the Loading Graph to determine the moment/1000 for each
additional item to be carried, then list these on the loading problem.
NOTE
Loading Graph information is based on
seats positioned for average occupants and
baggage loaded in the center of the baggage
area. For other than average loading
situations, the Sample Loading Problem lists
fuselage stations for these items to indicate
their forward and aft c. g. range limitation (seat
travel or baggage area limitation). Additional
moment calculations, based on the actual
weight and c. g. arm (fuselage station) of the
item being loaded, must be made if the position
of the load is different from that shown on the
Loading Graph.
Total the weights and moments/1000 and plot these values on
the Center of Gravity Moment Envelope to determine whether the
point falls within the envelope, and if the loading is acceptable.
