6.5 EMPTY WEIGHT AND CG MEASUREMENT WHILE ON GEAR
The airplane empty weight includes engine oil and coolant, unusable
fuel, hydraulic brake fluid, and installed equipment for the aircraft.
The airplane must be weighed and leveled in a level area. The
weighing area should also be calm or indoors to prevent wind from
affecting the readings.
Check the calibration of the scales used to ensure accurate results.
