Weight and Balance Terminology
Demonstrated
Crosswind
Velocity
Demonstrated Crosswind Velocity is the velocity of
the crosswind component for which adequate
control of the airplane during taxi, takeoff, and
landing was actually demonstrated during
certification testing. Demonstrated crosswind is not
considered to be limiting.
Service
Ceiling
Service Ceiling is the maximum altitude at which the
aircraft at maximum weight has the capability of
climbing at a rate of 100 feet per minute.
GPH Gallons Per Hour is the amount of fuel (in gallons)
consumed by the aircraft per hour.
NMPG Nautical Miles Per Gallon is the distance (in nautical
miles) which can be expected per gallon of fuel
consumed at a specific engine power setting and/or
flight configuration.
Unusable Fuel Unusable Fuel is the quantity of fuel that cannot be
safely used in flight.
Usable Fuel Usable Fuel is the fuel available for flight planning.
CG Center of Gravity is the point at which an airplane
would balance if suspended. Its distance from the
reference datum is found by dividing the total
moment by the total weight of the airplane.
Arm Arm is the horizontal distance from the reference
datum to the center of gravity (CG) of an item. The
airplane’s arm is obtained by adding the airplane’s
individual moments and dividing the sum by the total
weight.
Moment Moment is the product of the weight of an item
multiplied by its arm.
Standard
Empty Weight
Standard Empty Weight is the weight of a standard
airplane including unusable fuel, full operating
fluids, and full oil
