WEIGHT AND BALANCE RECORD (LOAD MANIFEST)
(Continued)
7. Add aircraft empty weight and index to payload weight and index
to acquire a zero fuel weight and index. A plot of this weight and
index on the adjacent chart indicates the location of the zero fuel
weight center of gravity in terms of % MAC. A C.G. % MAC space
is provided to enter this value. If the zero fuel weight C.G. falls
well within clear area of chart envelope, the loading will likely be
acceptable. however, if the C.G. at this weight fall near or within
shaded area, a careful recheck of the loading and C.G. is
important.
8. The weight available for takeoff fuel is the difference between
zero fuel weight and takeoff weight. A FUEL INDICES table at
bottom of Weight and Balance Record (Load Manifest) provides
an index for the weight of fuel to be carried. The fuel weight and
this index should be entered for takeoff fuel. When calculating
takeoff fuel, 35 pounds of additional fuel can be allowed as taxi
fuel under average conditions. A space for taxi fuel weight is
provided.
9. Add takeoff fuel weight and index to zero fuel weight and index to
acquire a takeoff weight and index which can be plotted to
determine the takeoff C.G. location in terms of % MAC. A C.G. %
MAC space is provided for this value.
10.Enter 8750 pounds as the maximum allowable takeoff weight for
this airplane. The additional 35 pounds of taxi fuel provides a
maximum ramp weight of 8785 pounds.
