3 WEIGHING
.~ is the only reliable way of obtaining:
-Equipped empty weight (EEW)
-Aircraft centre of gravity (CG) location.
The aircraft must be weighed:
-On leaving the works
-Following any major modification.
4 CALCULATING CG
4.1 Method
.
~stance from the centre of gravity of the aircraft to the datum
plane is calculated as follows:
Sum of moments = CG location
Sum of weights
-Determine the Equipped Empty Weight.
-Referring to the tables of Section 6.2 (for the longitudinal C of G
position) or in Section 6.3 (for the lateral C of G position) list and
add up the weights and moments.
-Check that the total weight is lower than the maximum permissible
takeoff weight.
-Determine the CG location and check that it falls within permissible
limits.
