Weight and Balance and Equipment List
This section contains information about weight and balance requirements for the safe
operation of the airplane. It is responsibility of the pilot in command to ensure before every
flight that weight and balance of the airplane remains within the specified limits. Failure to
do so may cause deterioration in airplane's flight performance and stability characteristics
and, as consequence, lead to unsafe operation.
6.1 Actual empty airplane weight and CG position
This subsection contains
weighing and CG location data of the aircraft in configuration “as
built”. Any permanent modification of the aircraft configuration (such as replacement,
removal/installation of any parts or/and equipment) essentially affecting those data shall be
accounted for in this weight and balance chart by appropriate revisions of this subsection
data.
Weight readings at: front wheel ............ 70.0 kg
left wheel ............. 128.0 kg
right wheel ........... 127.5 kg
Total empty weight: ............................... 325.5 kg
Total maximum take-off weight ............... 450 kg.
