6.1 INTRODUCTION
Before delivery, the manufacturer determines the basic empty weight and moment as well as
the empty C.G. location for each aircraft. This data is documented in the Weight and Balance
Record in section 6.3.1 of this section. The certified empty C.G. limits can be found the
Maintenance Manual.
It is the operator's responsibility to document any changes to the empty weight and center of
gravity of the aircraft.
The aircraft is to be weighed in the following configuration
Weighing configuration:
a)
Aircraft with:
Brake fluid
Engine oil (3.17 US qt / 3 liters)
Engine coolant (2.64 US qt / 2.5 liters)
Unusable fuel (2.74 US Gal / 10.4 liters)
b)
Equipment in accordance with the current equipment list (section 6.5 )
NOTE
The aircraft must be weighed in accordance with the relevant aviation regulations at regular
intervals or after repairs, after extensive maintenance, after large portions of the aircraft have
been painted, after changes to the equipment or when doubt exists as to the accuracy of the
last weighing. This data must then be recorded in the Weight and Balance Record.
It is the pilot's responsibility to operate the aircraft within its weight and balance limits.
The aircraft must be flown at a weight and a center of gravity position (C.G.) that are within the
approved operating ranges, as defined in this section, to guarantee safe operation, the
specified performances and the flight characteristics. The shift in C.G. location due to fuel burn
during flight must be taken into account.
The C.G. Limits are defined in section 6.4.3.
