WEIGHT AND BALANCE RECORD (LOAD MANIFEST)
(Continued)
If weight to be loaded does not match one of the weight
increments provided, and a more precise weight index is
needed, use the LOAD ITEM INDEX formula on the
backside of the Weight and Balance Record (Load
Manifest) to calculate the index. However, as shown in the
sample calculation below for a 315-pound load (instead of
300 pounds) in cabin Zone 1, minor weight variables do not
affect the weight index significantly. The ARM used in the
following calculation is the centroid of cabin Zone 1 as
shown on the diagram on the backside of the record.
The weight index of 987.5, when rounded to the next highest
number, would still result in the 988 given in the example above
for a 300-pounds load.
5. Add weight of pod cargo, pilot, passenger, and TKS fluid (if
installed) to sub-total weight for cabin cargo and enter this value
as the weight of the total payload; the sum of all item indices
recorded is the item index for the total payload. For calculation
purposes, enter only the last three digits of the total in the ITEM
INDEX columns.
