MODEL 208B 867 SHP
WEIGHT AND BALANCE/
GARMIN G1000
EQUIPMENT LIST
U.S.
AIRPLANE WEIGHING PROCEDURES
1. AIRPLANE PREPARATION
a. Remove all snow, ice or water which may be on the
airplane.
b. Inflate tires to recommended operating pressure.
c. Lock open fuel tank sump quick-drains and fuel reservoir
quick-drain to drain all fuel.
d. For airplanes with optional equipment installed, see the
appropriate POH/AFM supplement for additional weighing
procedures.
e. Service engine oil as required to obtain a normal full
indication (MAX HOT or MAX COLD, as appropriate, on
dipstick).
f.
Slide to move pilot and front passenger seats to position the
seat locking pins on the back legs of each seat at Fuselage
Station 145.0. Aft passenger seats (if installed) have
recommended fixed positions and should be located, using
a Fuselage Station location code on the seat rails, as
described in the Cabin Internal Loading Arrangements
figure. In the event the aft seats were moved to
accommodate a custom loading, they should be returned to
the standard locations prior to weighing.
g. Raise flaps to fully retracted positions.
h. Place all control surfaces in neutral position.
i.
Remove all non-required items from airplane.
2. LEVELING
a. Place scales under each wheel (minimum scale capacity,
2000 pounds nose, 4000 pounds each main). The main
landing gear must be supported by stands, blocks, etc., on
the main gear scales to a position at least four inches higher
than the nose gear as it rests on an appropriate scale. This
initial elevated position will compensate for the difference in
waterline station between the main and nose gear so that
final leveling can be accomplished solely by deflating the
nose gear tire.
b. Deflate the nose tire to properly center the bubble in the
level (see Airplane Weighing Form). Since the nose gear
strut contains an oil snubber for shock absorption rather
than an air/oil strut, it can not be deflated to aid in airplane
leveling.
