6.4.4 Estimating Center of Gravity Position using MVP-50P-AQ
The "Weight and Balance" function of the MVP-50P-AQ offers a comfortable and simple way of
estimating the current C.G. position.
The weights of the pilot, passenger, baggage and fuel are entered into the "Weight and
Balance" page of the MVP-50P-AQ which is accessed by pressing the "SCREENS"-button
several times. The resulting total weight, maximum take-off weight, the difference between
these two values and the center of gravity position are then shown.
If the approved limits are exceeded, some or all of the values will be shown in red.
CAUTION
The estimation of C.G. position using the MVP-50P-AQ serves solely as additional information
and is in no way a substitute for the proper calculation as shown in section 6.4 of this POH.
The current empty weight of the aircraft as programmed by an authorized maintenance
organization and registered in section 6.4.1 is an absolutely essential input to ensure correct
calculations. The current programmed empty weight data are shown in the header of the MVP-
50P-AQ.
NOTE
The MVP-50P-AQ uses the moment for the middle position of the pilot's seat (21 in. aft of BE)
to calculate center of gravity positions. This must be taken into consideration in accordance
with Table 6.4.2 if the seat is in the forward or rear position.
In order to avoid input mistakes, the moments of the (non-existent) seat rows 2 and 3 have also
been programmed to be positioned at 21 in. aft of BE.
