SECTION 6
WEIGHT AND BALANCE
6.3.2 LEVELING
Have a set of calibrated weighing scales available. The
range should be 1000 lb. for each main and 250 lb. for
the tail. Zero the scales or record the tare, as appropriate.
1. Place the aircraft approximately in a flight level
attitude by supporting the tail wheel on a bench.
2. Place the aircraft on the calibrated weighing
scales.
3. Level the aircraft as follows:

Place a spirit level on the lower longeron
between the landing gear tubes as shown in
Figure 6-1. Lower or raise the tail until the
aircraft is level. If necessary, this may be
accomplished by letting air out of the tires.

Place the spirit level on the upper forward
cross tube located in the cabin just behind the
windshield, as shown in Figure 6-2.
