WEIGHT AND BALANCE

The following information will enable you to operate your Cessna within
the prescribed weight and center of gravity limitations. To figure weight
and balance, use the Sample Loading Problem, Weight and Moment
Tables, and Center of Gravity Moment Envelope as follows:
1. 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.
In 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 moment/1000 on the
loading problem.
2. Use the Weight and Moment Tables to determine the moment/
1000 for each additional item to be carried, then list these on the
loading problem.
Information on the Weight and Moment Tables for different
fuel grades is based on average fuel density at fuel
temperatures of 60°F. However, fuel weight increases
approximately 0.1 pounds per gallon for each 25°F
decrease
environmental conditions are such that the fuel temperature
is different than shown in the chart heading, a new fuel
weight calculation should be made using the 0.1 pounds
per gallon increase in fuel weight for each 25°F decrease in
fuel temperature. Assume the tanks are completely filled
and the fuel temperature is at 35°F (25°F below the 60°F
noted on the chart).
