DA 62 AFM Mass and Balance
CAUTION
If the auxiliary tanks are in use, both tanks must be refueled
to the maximum level to provide proper information to the pilot
about the fuel quantity in the auxiliary fuel tanks.
If the auxiliary tanks are not in use, the pilot must ensure that
they are empty.
If MÄM 62-254 is installed:
Set the ELECT. MASTER switch and the AUX PUMP switch to ON and read the
auxiliary fuel tank quantities (LH and RH).
CAUTION
If the auxiliary fuel tank quantities are not displayed, the
auxiliary fuel tanks must be operated as described under ‘If
MÄM 62-254 is NOT installed’.
4. Multiply the individual masses by the moment arms quoted to obtain the moment for
every item of loading and enter these moments in the appropriate boxes in Table
6.4.3 - CALCULATION OF LOADING CONDITION.
5. Add up the masses and moments in the respective columns. The CG position is
calculated by dividing the total moment by the total mass (using row 11 for the condition
with empty fuel tanks, and row 14 for the pre take-off condition). The resulting CG
position must be inside the limits.
As an illustration, the total mass and the CG position are entered on Diagram 6.4.4 -
PERMISSIBLE CENTER OF GRAVITY RANGE. This checks graphically that the
current configuration of the airplane is within the permissible range.
