WEIGHT AND BALANCE/EQUIPMENT LIST
WEIGHT AND BALANCE
The following information will enable
you
to operate your Cessna
within the prescribed weight
and
center-of-gravity limitations. To
determine weight and balance, use the Sample Loading Problem
I(Figure 6-3), Loading Graph (Figure 6-4), and Center-of-Gravity
J;1oment Envelope (Figure 6-7) as follows:
E
nter the appropriate basic empty weight and momenV1000 from
he
weight
and
balance records for your airplane
in
the YOUR
IRPLANE
column
of
the Sample Loading Problem.
I
NOTE
In
addition to the
baSic
empty weight and moment
noted
on
these records, the C.G. arm (FS) 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
momenV1000
on
the loading problem.
Use the Loading Graph to determine the
momenV1000 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 (FS) for these items to indicate
their forward
and
aft C.G. range limitations (seat
travel and baggage area limitation). Refer to Figures
6-5 and 6-6 for additional loading information.
Additional moment calculations, based
on
the actual
weight and C.G. arm
(FS) of the item being loaded,
must
be
made
if
the position of the load is different
from that shown
on
the Loading Graph.
