  Chapter 10: Weight and Balance › Determining Loaded Weight and CG › Weight Shifting

  minimum load shift needed to make the aircraft safe for flight. Pilots should be able to determine if shifting a load to a new location will correct an out-of-limit condition. There are some standardized calculations that can help ... change the CG. If starting with a known aircraft weight, CG, and total moments, calculate the new CG (after the weight shift) by dividing the new total moments by the total aircraft weight. Figure 10-10. Sample weight and balance…

  Chapter 2: Weight and Balance Theory › Shifting the Balance Point or CG › Solution by Chart

  verify that this is the correct balance point, move the datum 40 inches to the left of the original datum and determine the arm of each weight from this new datum as in Figure 2-9. Figure 2-9. Locating ... balance point with datum left of original. The new arm for weight A would be –100 + 40 = –60; for weight B, –60 + 40 = –20; and point C, is +40. The lever is balanced and the balance point is correct when…

  Chapter 6: Aircraft Weight & Balance › Example Calculation After an Equipment Change

  Equipment Change & Aircraft Alteration When the equipment in an aircraft is changed, such as the installation of a new radar system or ground proximity warning system, or the removal of a radio or seat, the weight and balance ... aircraft changes. An alteration performed on an aircraft, such as a cargo door being installed or a reinforcing plate being attached to the spar of a wing, also changes the weight and balance of an aircraft. Any time the equipment…
