  • Chapter 5: Single-Engine Aircraft Weight and Balance Computations › Determining the Loaded Weight and CG › Loading Graph

    Loading Graph Figure 5-6 is a typical loading graph taken from the POH of a modern four-place airplane. It is a graph of load weight and load moment indexes. Diagonal lines for each item relate the weight ... moment index without having to use mathematical calculations. Compute Weight and Balance Using the Loading Graph To compute the weight and balance using the loading graph in Figure 5-6, make a loading schedule chart like the one in Figure…

  • Chapter 6: Aircraft Weight & Balance › Weight & Balance Terminology › Minimum Fuel

    modern aircraft have multiple rows of seats and often more than one baggage compartment. The weight and balance extreme conditions represent the maximum forward and rearward CG position for the aircraft. An aircraft has certain fixed points, fore ... time during flight. A check should be made to ensure that the CG will not shift out of limits when crew, passengers, cargo, and expendable weights are added or removed. If the limits are exceeded and the aircraft is flown…
