6.1 INTRODUCTION
This section describes the procedure and provides relevant
reference information to determine the weight and balance of the
A5-B. Additionally, a discussion of the aircraft equipment list is
included.
The A5-B design places the cockpit forward of the flight center of
gravity range. A change of occupant weight will therefore also
change the CG location. It is possible to be outside the forward CG
limit with a heavy total occupant weight and to be outside the aft CG
limit with a light occupant. It is therefore imperative for all pilots to
become familiar with the weight and balance of the specific aircraft
they will fly, and their own specific loading condition. Specific details
about weight, moment, and center of gravity for this airplane can be
found accompanying this POH.
WARNING: It is the responsibility of the pilot to make sure
the airplane is loaded properly. Operation
outside of the approved weight and balance
limitations could result in an accident and
serious or fatal injury.
