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

proportional to the distance the weight is shifted. Weight Addition or Removal In many instances, the weight and balance of the aircraft will be changed by the addition or removal of weight. When this happens, a new CG must ... limitations to see if the location is acceptable. This type of weight and balance problem is commonly encountered when the aircraft burns fuel in flight, thereby reducing the weight located at the fuel tanks. Most small aircraft are designed with…
