CESSNA SECTION 6
MODEL 152 WEIGHT & BALANCE
EQUIPMENT LIST
1 July 1978 6-6
WEIGHT AND BALANCE
The following information will enable you to operate your Cessna within the prescribed
weight and center of gravity limitations. To figure weight and balance, use the Sample
Problem, Loading Graph, and Center of Gravity Moment Envelope as follows-
Take the basic empty weight and moment from appropriate weight and balance records
carried in your airplane, and enter them in the column titled YOUR AIRPLANE on the Sample
Loading Problem.
NOTE
In addition to the basic empty weight and moment noted on these
records, the C.G. arm (fuselage station) is also shown, but need not
be used on the Sample Loading Problem. The moment which is
shown must be divided by 1000 and this value used as the
moment/ 1000 on the loading problem.
Use the Loading Graph to determine the moment/ 1000 for each additional item to be carried;
then list these on the loading problem.
NOTE
Loading Graph information for the pilot, passengers and baggage is
based on seats positioned for average occupants and baggage
loaded in the center of the baggage areas as shown on the Loading
Arrangements diagram. For loadings which may differ from these,
the Sample Loading Problem lists fuselage stations for these items
to indicate their forward and aft C.G. range limitation (seat travel
and baggage area limitation). Additional moment calculations,
based on the actual weight and C.G. arm (fuselage station) of the
item being loaded, must be made if the position of the load is
different from that shown on the Loading Graph.
Total the weights and moments/ 1000 and plot these values on the Center of Gravity Moment
Envelope to determine whether the point falls within the envelope, and if the loading is
acceptable.
