6.4. FLIGHT WEIGHT AND CENTER OF GRAVITY
The following data enables the pilot to operate the DA 20/100 within the required weight and center of
gravity limitations.
The following diagrams,

Weight & Balance Diagram
Figure 6.4

Figure 6.5
Permissible Center of Gravity Range
and
permissible
Flight-
Weight
-Moment
are to be used for calculations of the flight-weight and the center of gravity as follows:
1.
The empty weight and the empty-weight-moment of the airplane should be taken from the
weighing report or from the weight & balance report and entered into the form "Calculation of
Loading Condition" (figure 6.4) in the columns identified with "Your DA 20".
2.
Using the Weight & Balance Diagram (see figure 6.3) determine the moment for each part to be
loaded, and enter it in the respective column in figure 6.4.
3.
Add the weights and the moments of each column (point 4 and point 6 in figure 6.4) and enter the
sum in figure 6.5 "Permissible CG Range and Permissible Flight-Weight-Moment" to check if the
values are within the permissible limits of the loading range.
