  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.

  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…

  Shifting, Adding, and Removing Weight A pilot must be able to solve any problems accurately that involve the shift, addition, or removal of weight. For example, the pilot may load the aircraft within the allowable takeoff weight limit, then find ... shifting a load to a new location will correct an out-of-limit condition. There are some standardized calculations that can help make these determinations. Weight Shifting When weight is shifted from one location to another, the total weight…
