WEIGHT AND BALANCE
The following infomation will enable
you
to operate
your
Cessn"A
within
tJre
prescribed
weight and
center
of
gravit5l
li.mitations. To figure
weight and balance, use the
Sanple
Problen,
Iroading Graph,
and Center
of
Gravity
Momeut Envolope as follows:
Take tJre basic enpt5r
weight
and momentfrom
appropriate
weight
and
balance
records
carriod in
your
airplane,
and enter them
in tJre
column
titled YOUR
AIRPLANE
on the
Sample
Loadi.S
Problem.
NOTE
In addition to the
basic
emptyweight
andmomeutnotedon
urese records, the
C.G. a,In
(fuselage
station)
is also
shown, but
need not
be used
on
the Sa,mple Loading
Froblem. The
moment which is shown
must be dividedby
1000 and
this
value used
as the
moment/ 10il) on
tJre loading
problem.
Use
tJre Loading Graph to determine
tJre
moment/ 10il) for
each
additional item to be
carried; ttrren list tJrese
on ttrs
lea,ding
problem.
NOTE
Loading
Graph
idoruation
for the
pilot,
passengers
and
baggage is based on seats
positioned
for average occu-
pants
and baggage items loaded
in the center
of these areas
as shown on the Loading Arrangements
diagram. For
loadings which may differ from tJrese,
the SampleLoading
Problem
lists
fuselage
stations
for these
items to
indicate
their forward and aft
C.G.
range
limitation
(seat
travel and
baggage
a,rea, limitation). Additional
rnoment
calcula,-
tions,
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
tJre weights and moments/
1(X)0
and
plot
these values on the
Center of
Gravity
Moment Envelope to determine
whether the
point
falls
within
the envelope, and
iJ
tJre loadiug is acceptable.
BAGGAGE TIE-DOWN
A nylon
ba,ggage
net having
six
tie-down straps
is
provided
as
standard equipment
to
secure
baggage
in the
area aft ofthe rear

and over
the wheel
