LIST
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
occu-
pants
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.
