ROBINSON
MODEL R44
SECTION 6
WEIGHT AND BALANCE
LOADING INSTRUCTIONS (cont’d)
The following sample calculation demonstrates how to
determine loaded helicopter weight and center of gravity.
A worksheet is provided on the page following the sample
calculation for a weight and balance calculation for your
helicopter. These may be compared with the CG limits
given in Section 2 to determine safe loading. Both takeoff
and empty fuel conditions must be within limits.
Lateral CG usually falls well within limits for conventional
loadings. If an unusual lateral installation or loading occurs,
lateral CG should be checked against the CG limits given
in Section 2. The lateral reference datum is the aircraft
centerline with items to the right positive and items to the
left negative.
