  dividing the new moment index by the new total weight, and multiply this by the reduction factor. [Figure 9-54] Determining Which Limits Are Exceeded When preparing an aircraft for flight,consider all parameters and check to determine that ... limits have been exceeded. Consider the parameters below, and determine which limit, if any, has been exceeded. • The aircraft in this example has a basic empty weight of 9,005 pounds and a moment index of 25,934 pound inches/100…

  determined by the minimum acceptable longitudinal stability. It is contrary to the airplane’s operating limitations and 14 CFR to exceed any weight and balance parameter. Some multiengine airplanes may require ballast to remain within CG limits under certain loading ... avoid exceeding the aft CG limit. The pilot should direct the seating of passengers and placement of baggage and cargo to achieve a CG within the approved envelope. Most multiengine airplanes have general loading recommendations in the weight and balance…

  certain airplanes only. It represents the maximum speed where, at any given weight, the pilot may apply full control excursion without exceeding the design limit load factor. Performing accelerated stalls at speeds up to the applicable VA or VO, ensures ... will reach the critical AOA, which unloads the wing, before exceeding the design load limit. At speeds above VA or VO, the airplane can reach its design load limit at less than the critical AOA. This condition makes it possible…

  range in these types of aircraft is such that it is difficult to exceed loading limits. For example, the rear seat position and fuel of a weight-shift control aircraft are as close as possible to the hang point with ... balloon basket or gondola. While it is difficult to exceed CG limits in these aircraft, pilots should never overload an aircraft because overloading causes structural damage and failures. Weight and balance computations are not required, but pilots should calculate weight…

  condition. It is vital to comply with weight and balance limits established for all aircraft. Operating above the maximum weight limitation compromises the structural integrity of the aircraft and can adversely affect performance. Stability and control are also affected ... Center of Gravity Limits for the location of the CG are established by the manufacturer. These are the fore and aft limits beyond which the CG should not be located for flight. These limits are published for each aircraft…
