WEIGHT AND ARM
(WT/ARM)
This function is an easy method to compute the proper loading
of the aircraft. The E6B-F will retain and display cumulative
totals for center of gravity, (CG), gross weight (GW), and
moment (MOM). This will allow you to continue keying in weight
and arm values for the plane, passengers and baggage to
obtain running totals. In the WT/ARM mode, the E6B-F
continuously prompts for new WT and ARM values.
Arm is the distance in inches from the datum line to the center
of gravity of an item. The datum line is an imaginary line
established by the manufacturer from which all arm
measurements are taken. The moment is the product of arm
times weight, divided by the reduction factor. The reduction
factor is a constant of 1 for WT/ARM calculations. The
computer will always assume RF=1.
In this example, aircraft empty weight is 2467, arm is 76.7",
and the reduction factor is 1.
Select W T / A R M from main menu
Press ENTER and the display will prompt for W T
Key in 2467 and press ENTER
The computer will prompt for A R M
Key in 76.7 and press ENTER
The computer will prompt for R F and the computer will assume
a value of 1.
