6.7 WEIGHT AND BALANCE DETERMINATION FOR FLIGHT
(a)
Add the weight of all items to be loaded to the basic empty weight.
(b)
Use the Loading Graph (Figure 6-13) to determine the moment of all items to be carried in the
airplane.
(c)
Add the moment of all items to be loaded to the basic empty weight moment.
(d)
Divide the total moment by the total weight to determine the C.G. location.
(e)
By using the figures of item (a) and item (d) (above), locate a point on the C.G. range and weight
graph (Figure 6-15). If the point falls within the C.G. envelope, the loading meets the weight and
balance requirements.

The center of gravity (C.G.) of this sample loading problem is at
inches aft of the datum line.
Locate this point ( ) on the C.G. range and weight graph. Since this point falls within the weight -
C.G. envelope, this loading meets the weight and balance requirements.
IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE PILOT AND AIRCRAFT OWNER TO INSURE THAT THE
AIRPLANE IS LOADED PROPERLY.
*Utility Category Operation - No baggage or aft passengers allowed.
