Section 15. Multi Function Display (MFD)
WEIGHT-Weight & Balance
The weight & balance page is selected with the WEIGHT line select key on the
OPS page. Pressing this key prompts the weights page to appear allowing entry
of weights for all positions on the aircraft. The pilot weight will initialize to 170
lbs, while other seat and baggage positions are initialized to zero pounds.
Rotating the outer portion of the concentric knob selects the desired position.
Once selected, rotating the inner portion of the concentric knob clockwise or
counterclockwise increases or decreases the weight value incrementally by five
pounds per click.
Entered weights for pilot (PILOT), copilot (COPILOT), passenger one (PAX 1),
passenger two (PAX 2), passenger three (PAX 3), passenger four (PAX 4) and
baggage (BAGGAGE) are automatically summed and indicated on the PAYLOAD
line.
NOTE:
If a value of >260 lbs is entered into the BAGGAGE field, the value turns red
indicating that compartment capacity is over design limits.
Aircraft empty weight is automatically displayed and is non selectable.
Available fuel load as calculated by the ACS is automatically displayed. If the
FUEL line is selected, it is editable in five pound increments by rotating the inner
portion of the concentric knob. Should the fuel weight be modified manually
amber MAN text appears. Should a capacitance probe failure prevent total fuel
load calculation, three red dashes appear in the FUEL line.
The gross weight is the automatic sum of EMPTY, FUEL and PAYLOAD weights
and the field is non selectable. If the GROSS weight exceeds the maximum
ramp weight the numeric value turns red. Should the calculated fuel load be
unavailable the GROSS weight is displayed in amber, as the maximum takeoff
weight.
