6.4 Weight and Balance Determination for Flight
In the following, the procedure of determining of weight and
balance for flight operation is described. Values are for sample
only and refer to the Sample Weight and Balance Loading
Form, see Figure 6-3.
A blank sheet of Weight and Balance Loading Form is provided
for the operator’s convenience as Figure 6-4.
Note The following Figures 6-5 and 6-7 are prepared in either
SI or U.S. units.
Important It is the responsibility of the pilot to assure, that the aircraft
is loaded properly. The Basic Empty Weight CG is noted on
the aircraft Weighing Form. If the aircraft has been altered,
refer to the Weight and Balance Record for this
information.
6.4.a Sample
1 Take the Basic Empty Weight and Moment as noted on the
aircraft Weighing Form (Figure 6-1) resp. on the latest entry of
the Weight and Balance Record (Figure 6-2) (convert them into
U.S. units if necessary using the conversion factors given in
Section 1) and enter them in item 1 (Basic Empty Weight) of
Figure 6-4 (1425 kg/5095 kgm).
2 Determine arm, weight and moment of the pilot and enter the
values in item 3 (2.84 m/86 kg/244.24 kgm).
3 Determine arm, weight and moment of the co-pilot and enter the
values in item 3 (2.95 m/80 kg/236 kgm).
Note The values for the pilot or co-pilot are applicable only when
the CG of the occupant is at location specified.
