Definitions and explanations
Empty mass and c.g.
Empty mass is mass of empty aircraft with equipment and accessories in accordance with equip-
ment list. Refer to Weight and Balance report for actual value.
Empty mass c.g. limits diagram provides empty mass c.g. limits within which flight mass c.g. is kept
in limits. Or differently, the diagram is used to find out cockpit load with respect to mass and c.g. of
empty aircraft.
Minimum cockpit load is obtained as follows:
1. Locate c.g. of empty mass X
CG.empty
[mm] at the Left-hand vertical axis and draw a horizontal line
through it.
2. Locate empty mass G0 [kg] at the bottom horizontal axis and draw a vertical line through it.
3. The intersection of two lines drawn determines minimum cockpit load. Interpolate between lines
of constant minimum cockpit load (RED - 65, 70, 75 kg, ...), if necessary.
NOTE:
MIN. COCKPIT LOAD MAY BE REDUCED FOR 2.3 KG PER EACH LITRE OF W. BALLAST.
