% % will only reach the flight performance and handling characteristics
described in this operations manual if it is operated in the safe limits for loading
and for the center of gravity (CG).
The pilot in command is responsible for the correct loading of the aircraft within
the loading limits and CG limits. The movement of the CG due to fuel
consumption must always be considered.
This section presents information for weighing the aircraft and determining the
empty CG location properly. Also, the measurement of the empty mass moment
as measured from the reference plane (RP) is given.
A list of all equipment installed in the aircraft during weighing (installed
equipment list) as well as a list of all approved equipment for this aircraft
(equipment list) – is given in chapter 6.5.
The weight, empty CG location and empty mass moment for the aircraft are
determined during the pre delivery inspection. This data is then noted in the
logsheet for report of the empty mass and the CG location (chapter 6.3.1).
Repeat the weighing of the aircraft in the intervals required by law (generally
every 4 years).
, - The empty mass, empty CG location and empty mass
moment need to be calculated or measured when making
changes to the installed equipment. This data must be
determined
and recorded in accordance with the
aeronautical regulations.
, - The empty mass, empty CG location and empty mass
moment need to be measured when repairs have been made
or when the aircraft has been painted new.
, - The empty mass, empty CG location and empty mass
moment need to be confirmed on the logsheet (chapter
6.3.1) by certified personnel.
