* Nominal empty weight with minimum equipment. The true empty weight depends greatly upon the equipment installed. The
current weight of each aircraft is registered in the current weighing record. Refer to Chapter 6 “weight and Balance”.
** Maximum values. The correct values for each aircraft may be calculated from the current weighing record. Refer to
Chapter 6 “weight and Balance”.
*** Reference datum is the wing leading edge with the aircraft in the neutral position. Refer to Chapter 6 “weight and
Balance”.
Warning:
The weight data given are standard values. The correct data for each
aircraft must be extracted from the current weighing record. Refer to
Chapter 6 “Weight and Balance”.
