WEIGHING INSTRUCTIONS
Section VI
Wt and BaljEquip list
Periodic weighi ng of the airplane may be requ ired 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
wi ng 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, 5.7 pounds of
undrainable fuel remain in the
airplane at Fuselage Station 81.6. The remainder ofthe
unusable fuel to be added to a drained system is 30.3
pounds at Fuselage Station 78.5
3. Engine oil must be at the full level or completely
drained. Total engine oil when full is 45 pounds at
Fuselage
Station 43.
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. The airplane must be longitudinally and laterally level
with the landing gear fully extended at the time of
weighing. Leveli ng screws are located on the left side of
the fuselage at Fuselage
Station 152.25 (approx-
imately).
Longitudinally level attitude is determined
with a plumb bob. Laterally level attitude is accom-
plished by
having the vertical distance, from the left and
right wingtips to the floor, equal.
