6.4 - DETERMINING WEIGHT AND BALANCE
GENERAL
This paragraph is intended to provide the pilot with a simple and rapid means of determining weight and balance of
his airplane.
IT IS THE PILOT'S RESPONSIBILITY TO ENSURE THAT THE AIRPLANE IS LOADED PROPERLY AND THE
WEIGHT AND BALANCE LIMITS ARE ADHERED TO.
Empty weight to be considered is the weight noted on last weighing form. To this empty weight corresponds a basic
balance, expressed in percent of mean aerodynamic chord. Empty weight and the corresponding balance allow to
calculate the airplane basic index.
If airplane empty weight has varied since last weighing form, refer to paragraph ”DETERMINING EMPTY
AIRPLANE CHARACTERISTICS” to determine new empty weight and the corresponding balance (for instance :
optional equipment installation).
