Refer to the Pilot’s Operating Handbook (DFE-POH-AR1), Section 6 for the Weight and Balance
Data.
1.11.1. Definition
The removal or addition of equipment may result in changes to the center of gravity and empty
weight of the aircraft. The permissible useful load can also be affected. In such case a new weight and
balance is necessary to determine the new empty weight and center-of-gravity position. The new empty
weight and C.G. position should be recorded in the Pilot’s Operating Handbook, Section 6. Then a new
permitted crew weight for fueling and baggage must be computed and recorded.
