Note:
This procedure uses jacks because the main wheel scales need a number of
blocks to bring the airplane level.
Before you weigh the airplane do these items:
)
Make sure that the airplane has all its equipment. The equipment must be in the location given
in the Airplane Inventory.
)
Defuel the airplane to the unusable fuel level 7.57 liter (2 US gal). Refer to Section 12-10.
)
Replenish the engine oils, hydraulic fluid and cooling fluid up to the maximum levels. Refer to
Section 12-10.

Section 12-20.
