WEIGHT & BALANCE CALCULATIONS
The weight and balance submenu may be used during your pre-
flight preparations to verify the weight and balance conditions for
your aircraft. By entering the weight and arm value on this page, the
GPSMAP 195 can calculate the total weight, moment and center of
gravity (CG) figures, ensuring a safe flight every time.
Before entering the various figures, you will need to determine the
basic empty weight of the airplane and the arm (or 'station') for each
weight entered. These figures should be determined using the pilot' s
operating handbook for your airplane. The pilot' s operating hand-
book will also note the weight limitations and fore/aft CG limits.
Compare those figures to the values calculated by the GPSMAP 195.
To perform weight & balance calculations:
1. Highlight the 'Weight & Balance' option from the main menu page
T
and press .
2. Highlight the desired 'Weight' field and press
3. Enter the weight figure and press
4. Highlight the desired 'Arm' field and press
5. Enter the arm figure and press
6. Repeat steps 2 through 5 above until all figures are entered. Keep in
mind that the 'Aircraft' figures must be entered as a reference to
calculate a valid moment, weight and CG.
