WEIGHT AND BALANCE (Continued)
WEIGHT AND BALANCE RECORD (LOAD MANIFEST)
(Continued)
6. Enter basic empty weight (from airplane weight and balance
information) in ITEM WEIGHT column for aircraft empty weight.
Calculate weight index using the BASIC AIRPLANE INDEX
formula on the backside of the Weight and Balance Record
(Load Manifest). The sample calculation below is for an airplane
with a basic empty weight of 5005 pounds and a C.G. arm of
185.69.
5005 X (185.69 - 192)
+ 500 = 436.84
500
In the aircraft empty weight spaces for the airplane in this
sample, a weight of 5005 and an index of 437 would be entered.
7. Add aircraft empty weight and index to payload weight and index
to acquire a zero fuel weight and index. A plot of this weight and
index on the adjacent chart indicates the location of the zero fuel
weight center of gravity in terms of % MAC. A C.G. % MAC
space is provided to enter this value. If the zero fuel weight C.G.
falls well within clear area of chart envelope, the loading will
likely be acceptable. however, if the C.G. at this weight fall near
or within shaded area, a careful recheck of the loading and C.G.
is important.
8. The weight available for takeoff fuel is the difference between
zero fuel weight and takeoff weight. A FUEL INDICES table at
bottom of Weight and Balance Record (Load Manifest) provides
an index for the weight of fuel to be carried. The fuel weight and
this index should be entered for takeoff fuel. When calculating
takeoff fuel, 35 pounds of additional fuel can be allowed as taxi
fuel under average conditions. A space for taxi fuel weight is
provided.
9. Add takeoff fuel weight and index to zero fuel weight and index
to acquire a takeoff weight and index which can be plotted to
determine the takeoff C.G. location in terms of % MAC. A C.G. %
MAC space is provided for this value.
10. Enter 8807 pounds as the maximum allowable takeoff weight for
this airplane. The additional 35 pounds of taxi fuel provides a
maximum ramp weight of 8842 pounds.
