AIRPLANE WEIGHING PROCEDURES
3. WEIGHING
a. Weigh airplane in a closed hangar to avoid errors caused by
air currents.
b. With the airplane level and brakes released, record the
weight shown on each scale. Deduct the tare from each
reading.
4. MEASURING
a. Obtain measurement A by measuring horizontally (along
airplane centerline) from a line stretched between the main
wheel centers to a plumb bob dropped from the center of the
nose jack point located below the firewall and housed within
the nose strut fairing.
b. Obtain measurement B by measuring horizontally and
parallel to the airplane centerline, from center of nose wheel
axle, left side, to a plumb bob dropped from the line between
the main wheel centers. Repeat on right side and calculate
the average of the measurements.
5. Using weights from step 3 and measurements from step 4, the
airplane weight and C.G. can be determined.
6. Basic Empty Weight may be determined by completing Figure 6-
1, Airplane Weighing Form in this section.
