= net Tailwheel wt. (T) of _________________ Lbs.
Total Weight as Weighed (W) = __________________ Lbs.
Weighing Procedure (Cont’d)
The above empty weight includes unusable fuel of 27.6 lbs. at 24 inches and 12 quarts of
oil at minus 34inches for the O-540 engine and 8 quarts of oil at minus 34 inches for the
IO-540 engine, plus all items of equipment as marked on the accompanying Equipment
Lists. The certificated empty weight is the above weight less 24 lbs. drainable oil for the
O-540 engine or above weight less 16 lbs. drainable oil for the IO-540 engine at a minus
arm of 34 inches and for this airplane is _____________lbs. The corresponding empty
weight center of gravity is ______________inches.
5. Calculations for determining weight, C.G. and moment:
a. Center of Gravity (inches) =
L x T - D
W
i.e., C.G. = _____________ - ____________ = ___________inches.
b. Moment (inch pounds) = W x C.G.
i.e., Moment = _____________ x ____________ = ___________inch lbs.
