5.5 FLIGHT PLANNING EXAMPLE
NOTE
:
The information contained in this Section
(5.5) is to be used for example purposes only.
(a) Aircraft Loading
The first step in planning a flight is to calculate the airplane
weight and center of gravity by utilizing the information provided by
Section 6 (Weight and Balance) of this handbook.
The basic empty weight for the airplane as licensed at the
factory has been entered in Figure 6-5. If any alterations to the
airplane have been made affecting weight and balance, reference to
the aircraft logbook and Weight and Balance Record (Figure 6-7)
should be made to determine the current basic empty weight of the
airplane.
Make use of the Weight and Balance Loading Form (Figure
6-11) and the C.G. Range and Weight graph (Figure 6-15) to deter-
mine the total weight of the airplane and the center of gravity position.
After proper utilization of the information provided, the following
weights apply to the flight planning example.
The landing weight cannot be determined until the weight of the
fuel to be used has been established [refer to item (g)(1)].
(1) Basic Empty Weight
1406 lbs.
(2) Occupants (4 x 170 lbs.)
680 lbs.
(3) Baggage and Cargo
50 lbs.
(4) Fuel (6 lb/gal x 30)
180 lbs.
(5) Takeoff Weight
2316 lbs.
(6) Landing Weight
(a)(5) minus (g)(1), (2316 lbs.
minus 188.4 lbs.
2127.6 lbs.
The takeoff weight is below the maximum of 2440 lbs., and the weight
and balance calculations have determined that the C.G. position is within the
approved limits.
