6.4 -- DETERMINING WEIGHT AND BALANCE
GENERAL
This section is intended to provide the pilot with the procedure to detemine
the weight and balance of the airplane.
IT IS THE PILOT’S RESPONSIBILITY TO ENSURE THAT THE AIRPLANE
IS PROPERLY LOADED AND THE WEIGHT AND BALANCE LIMITS ARE
ADHERED TO.
This procedure requires the following data related to the basic characteristics
of the empty airplane to be obtained from the last airplane Weight and
Balance Report :
-- the empty weight, expressed in kg or lbs,
-- the moment, expressed in m.kg or in.lbs,
-- the CG, expressed in MAC %.
If the airplane empty weight has varied since last Weight and Balance Report
(for example, due to installation of optional equipment), refer to paragraph
”DETERMINING EMPTY AIRPLANE CHARACTERISTICS” to determine
the new empty weight and the corresponding moment.
USING THE WEIGHT AND BALANCE FORM AND DIAGRAM
This procedure determines the airplane weight and balance characteristics
for flight.
Select the units for the Weight and Balance determination, either m and kg, or
lb and in, and use the dedicated form (Figures 6.4.3 or 6.4.4 or 6.4.5 or 6.4.6),
appropriate to the chosen units and airplane configuration.
1) Record the basic empty weight (1a), moment (1b) and CG (MAC %) (1c)
from the last Weight and Balance Report (see sample of Weight and
Balance reports Figures 6.4.1 and 6.4.2).
2) Record the expected loading (2a) and compute each associated
moment (2b).
If
Post--MOD70--0315--25
calculation
is
used
,
depending on seat accommodation (from 2 to 6 seats), use negative
values : -- 17 kg (-- 37.5 lbs) per intermediate seat removed and -- 24 kg
(-- 52.9 lbs) per rear seat removed.
3) Compute Zero Fuel Weight (3a) and moment (3b) as sum of all the above
weights (1a) + (2a) and moments (1b) + (2b).
