WEIGHT AND BALANCE
The following
information
will enable you to
operate
your
Cessna
within
the
prescribed weight
and center
of
gravity limitations.
To
-
determine weight and
bdänce, use the
Samþte Lôading
Problem,
I
Loading Graph, and Center of Gravity Moment Envelope
as
follows:
Take
the
basic empty weight and moment from
appropriate
weight and balance
records
carried
in
your
airplane, and enter them
in the
column titled YOUR AIRPLANE
on the
Sample
Loading
Problem.
NOTE
ln
addition
to the basic empty weight and
moment
noted
on
these
records,
the
C.G.
arm
(fuselage station) is also shown,
but need not be used on the Sample Loading
Problem. The
moment which
is
shown must
be
divided
by
1000
and
this
value
used
as
the
momenV1000
on
the
loading
problem.
Use the Loading Graph
to
determine the
momenU1000
for
each
additional
item
to
be
carried; then
list
these on the loading problem.
