Mass and Balance DA 62 AFM
6.4 FLIGHT MASS AND CENTER OF GRAVITY
The following information enables you to operate your DA 62 within the permissible mass
and balance limits. For the calculation of the flight mass and the corresponding CG
position, the following tables and diagrams are required:
6.4.1 - MOMENT ARMS
6.4.2 - LOADING DIAGRAM
6.4.3 - CALCULATION OF LOADING CONDITION
6.4.4 - PERMISSIBLE CENTER OF GRAVITY RANGE
6.4.5 - PERMISSIBLE MOMENT RANGE
The diagrams should be used as follows:
1. Take the empty mass and the empty mass moment of your airplane from the Mass
and Balance Report, and enter the figures in the appropriate boxes under the column
marked ‘Your DA 62' in Table 6.4.3 - CALCULATION OF LOADING CONDITION.
2. Read the fuel quantity indicators to determine the fuel quantity in the main fuel tanks.
3. Determine the fuel quantity in the auxiliary fuel tanks:
If MÄM 62-254 is NOT installed:
To verify an empty auxiliary fuel tank, set the ELECT. MASTER switch and the AUX
PUMP switch to ON and check the PFD for the L/R AUX FUEL E caution message.
To verify a full auxiliary fuel tank open the auxiliary fuel tank filler and check fuel level.
If the auxiliary fuel tank quantity is in between empty and full, the exact quantity cannot
be determined. If possible, transfer all fuel to the main fuel tank by setting the ELECT.
MASTER switch and the AUX PUMP switch to ON until the L/R AUX FUEL E caution
message appears on the PFD. During this procedure, ground power must be used
or at least one engine must be running. The fuel transfer will take a maximum of 10
minutes.
