SECTION 6
WEIGHT AND BALANCE
6.1 INTRODUCTION
This section provides information about how to calculate the takeoff weight
and C.G. of the aircraft. Once calculated, these two values can be used to
find a point on the weight and balance chart (see section 6.3) and thus de-
termine whether aircraft is within the flight limits (see section 2.6). A sample
calculation is provided for reference.
WARNING:
It is the owner and/or operator’s responsibility to ensure the
aircraft’s takeoff weight and C.G. are within the envelope presented in the
weight and balance chart (see section 6.3).
NOTE: The aircraft’s empty weight and empty weight C.G. are the starting
point for all takeoff calculations. Please refer to the aircraft’s weight and bal-
ance report for the current empty weight data.
