WEIGHT AND BALANCE PLOTTER
A Weight And Balance Plotter is available to quickly determine the
weight and balance of the airplane when loading cargo. If the plotter
shows a marginal condition developing, or if there is a question
concerning the results in any way, then a more precise weight and
balance should be determined using the weight and balance procedure
in this section. Instructions for use of the plotter are included on the
plotter.
WEIGHT AND BALANCE RECORD (LOADING MANIFEST)
A Weight And Balance Record (Loading Manifest) is available for
recording the cargo loading configuration of each flight and verifying
that the airplane weight and takeoff center of gravity in terms of
%
MAC
(Mean Aerodynamic Chord) is acceptable. A sample of this record is
shown in Figure 6-3. The procedure for using this record is summarized
below.
1.
Enter flight date and number, point of departure and destination,
1
and airplane identification in spaces provided.
2.
Enter weight of cargo in each cabin cargo zone in appropriate
ITEM WEIGHT spaces. Total cabin cargo weights in space
provided as a check that maximum allowable cabin cargo weight
of 3400 pounds is not exceeded. Refer to other portions of the
Pilot's Operating Handbook for additional limitations which must
be observed.
3. Enter weight of cargo in cargo pod and weight of pilot and front
passenger (observer).
4.
Complete ITEM INDEX column for all cargo and the pilot and
uassenger bv referring to adjacent WEIGHT INDICES listing. For
each
cargo or personnel we;ght recorded previously, read across
horizontallv to the vertical column having an identical weight at
the top. TLe number shown at this intersection is the weightindex
for the recorded weight. As an example, 300 pounds of cargo
loaded in cabin zone
1
has a weight index of 988, and this
number should be entered under ITEM INDEX for cabin zone
1.
