AIRPLANE WEIGHING PROCEDURES
To Establish Basic Empty Weight
The airplane must be weighed in the following configuration.
1. Wing flaps shall be fully retracted and all other control surfaces
shall be in neutral.
2. Service engine oil and landing gear hydraulic fluid reservoir as
required to obtain a normal full indication.
3. Check landing gear down and parking brake released.
4. Remove all equipment and items not to be included in basic empty
weight.
5. Adjust all seats to the normal operating position.
6. Close all baggage doors, main cabin door and emergency exit window.
7. Clean
the airplane inside and out.
8. Remove all snow, ice or water which may be on the airplane.
9. Weigh the airplane in a closed hangar to avoid errors caused by air
currents.
10. Defuel the airplane in accordance with the following steps.
,..-----IWARNING. ----,
Conduct all defueling operations at a safe distance
from other airplanes and buildings. Fire fighting
equipment must be readily available. Attach two
ground wires from different points on the airplane
to separate approved grounding stakes. The use of
two ground wires will prevent ungrounding of the
airplane due to accidental disconnecting of either
wire.
