6.1 GENERAL
This section provides information to determine the aircraft weight and
center of gravity. The performance and flying characteristics of the SA
160 aircraft can only be achieved if it is flown within the approved weight
and Center-of-Gravity (C of G) envelope. In addition, flight operation
outside of the approved weight and C of G envelope will have a negative
impactontheaircraftflightcharacteristics and represent a significant risk
totheaircraftanditsoccupants.
It is the responsibility of the pilot in command to ensure the aircraft is
loadedproperlyandoperatedwithintheprescribed
weight and C of G envelope. Operation outside of the
authorizedweight and balance limitations could cause an accident to
occur.

6.3 AIRCRAFT WEIGHING PROCEDURE
At the time of delivery, Symphony Aircraft Industries provides for each
aircraft the basic empty weight andcenter of gravity location. This data is
provided on the Weight and Balance Data Form shown in Figure (6.1).
The removal or addition of equipment will affect the basic empty weight
and center of gravity position. As such, a weight and balance amendment
