WEIGHING INSTRUCTIONS
Section VI
Wt and Bal;Equip List
Periodic weighing of the airplane may be required to keep
the Basic Empty Weight current. All changes to the
airplane affecting weight and balance are the
responsibility of the airplane's operator.
1. Three jack points are provided for weighing: two on the
wing front spar at Fuselage Station 83.1 and one on
the aft fuselage at Fuselage Station 271.0.
2. Fuel should be drained preparatory to weighing. Tanks
are drained from the regular drain ports with the
airplane in static ground attitude. When tanks are
drained, 1.5 pounds of undrainable fuel remain in the
airplane at Fuselage Station 76.0. The remainder of
the unusable fuel to be added to a drained system is
34.5 pounds at Fuselage Station 79.1.
3. Engine oil must be at the full level or completely
drained. Total engine oil when full is 26 pounds at
Fuselage Station 24.5. (Includes 3 pounds undrain-
able oil.)
4. To determine. airplane configuration at time of
weighing, installed equipment is checked against the
airplane equipment list or superseding forms. All
installed equipment must be in its proper place during
weighing.
5. At the time of weighing, the airplane must be level
both longitudinally and laterally, and the landing gear
must be fully extended. Leveling screws are located on
the left side of the fuselage at approximately Fuselage
Station 152.25. Longitudinally level attitude is de-
termined with a plumb bob. Laterally level attitude is
obtained when the vertical distance from each wing tip
to the floor is equal.
6. Measurement of the reaction arms for a wheel
weighing is made using a steel measuring tape.
