  inches. To balance the lever at its center, weight B must be placed so its CG is 25 inches to the left of the center of the lever. [Figure 2-13] Figure 2-13. Weight distribution to balance lever. Figure ... indicates that the shift in weight depicted in Figure 2-13 allows the lever to balance as the sum of the moments is zero. Figure 2-14. Weight shift provides correct CG. Basic Weight and Balance Equation The following formulas…

  Chapter 6: Aircraft Weight & Balance › Weight & Balance Terminology › Maximum Weight

  Maximum Weight The maximum weight is the maximum authorized weight of the aircraft and its contents, and is indicated in the Aircraft Specifications or TCDS. For many aircraft, there are variations to the maximum allowable weight depending on the purpose ... under which the aircraft is to be flown. For example, a certain aircraft may be allowed a maximum gross weight of 2,750 lb when flown in the normal category, but when flown in the utility category, which allows…

Determine the zero fuel weight ... which is the weight of the aircraft with all of the useful load except the fuel onboard. [Figure 9-55] Figure 9-55. Determining the zero fuel weight. The zero fuel weight of 13,295 pounds is less than…
