  Chapter 1: Weight and Balance Control › Weight Changes

  know the weight and location of a change, to compute the CG, record the new empty weight and EWCG in the aircraft weight and balance record, and update the equipment lists. If the newly calculated EWCG should ... EWCG range, it is necessary to perform an adverse-loading check. This requires a forward and rearward adverse-loading check and a maximum weight check. These weight and balance extreme conditions represent the maximum forward and rearward…

  Center of gravity calculation for Piper Seneca with weights shifted. Figure 6-36. Example airplane for extreme condition checks. • The result of the equipment change is that the airplane’s weight was reduced ... Ballast Ballast is used in an aircraft to attain the desired CG balance, when the CG is not within limits or is not at the location desired by the operator. It is usually located…

  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.
