6.4 DETERMINING WEIGHT AND BALANCE FOR FLIGHT
In order to operate the aircraft within the approved weight and C.G. limits, the take-off weight
and the flight C.G. position must be determined, taking into consideration the loading for the
planned flight.
Use the tables and charts provided in sections 6.4.1 through 6.4.3 to determine weight and
C.G. position:
Section 6.4.1
Load moment determination (loading graph)
Section 6.4.2
Weight and moment determination
Section 6.4.3
Approved center of gravity and weight limits
Proceed as follows:
1.
Take the basic empty weight m
empty
and the empty weight moment MO
empty
from the
current Aircraft Weighing Report or the Weight and Balance Record and enter them into
the appropriate fields of Table
6.4.2 Weight and Moment Determination
.
2.
Using chart
6.4.1 Loading Graph
determine the moments of the load (pilot, fuel,
baggage, etc.). Enter this information, as well as their weight, into the appropriate fields
of Table
6.4.2 Weight and Moment Determination Table
.
Alternatively, the moments can be calculated with the lever arms from Table
6.4.2
Weight and Moment Determination Table.
3.
Find the sum of the weights and the moments in their columns. Transfer this information
into chart
6.4.3 Approved C.G. Range and Moment Limits
to check if the current C.G. is
within limits.
