Operational Weight and Balance Computation
CAUTION
THE AIRPLANE PILOT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR AN
APPROPRIATE LOADING OF THE AIRPLANE. AT
LOADING
THE
AIRPLANE,
THE
WEIGHT
LIMITATIONS SHOWN IN PARAGRAPH 0 MUST
NOT BE EXCEEDED AND C.G. POSITION OF THE
AIRPLANE MUST LIE WITHIN THE ENVELOPE -
SEE PARA 6.9.
6.4.1 Computation Procedure
1. Record into the Airplane Loading Schedule Chart (para 6.5) current empty
weight and static moment of the airplane, which you read from the table
Weight and Balance Record (para 6.2).
2. Record the weight of crew, fuel, and baggage into the Airplane Loading
Schedule Chart (para 6.5).
3. See the Table of Static Moments (para 6.6) or Airplane Loading Graph
(para
6.7) to read static moments for given weights of crew, fuel, and baggage.
4. Record found moments into the Airplane Loading Schedule Chart (para 6.5).
5. Determine Take-off weight of the airplane – add together the airplane empty
weight, crew, fuel, and baggage and record the result into the Loading
Schedule Chart
(para 6.5).
6. Check, whether the calculated Take-off weight does not exceed Airplane
Maximum Take-off Weight 600 kg. If yes, then it is necessary to reduce
weight of some of the useful load items (fuel, baggage).
WARNING
DO NOT EXCEED MAXIMUM WEIGHTS AND
LIMITATION OF CENTER OF GRAVITY! THEIR
EXCEEDING
LEADS
TO
AIRPLANE
OVERLOADING AND TO DEGRADATION OF
FLIGHT
CHARACTERISTICS
AND
DETERIORATION OF MANOEUVRABILITY.
7. Determine Total Static Moment of loaded airplane – add together the static
moment of empty airplane, crew, fuel, and baggage and record the result into
the Loading Schedule Chart (para 6.5).
