Weighing Procedure
The document outlines a step-by-step procedure for weighing the Beechcraft V35B Bonanza. It includes draining all fuel, leveling the aircraft using plumb bobs, and marking datum points for accurate measurements. Specific measurements from the datum to the nose wheel axle and main wheel axle are provided to determine the weight arms.
Weight and Moment Calculations
The weight and moment calculations are detailed in a table format, showing the weights of the right main wheel, left main wheel, and nose wheel, along with their respective arms and moments. The total weight of the aircraft is calculated as 2,243 lbs with a total moment of 179,725.7 lb-in.
Center of Gravity (CG)
The document provides the empty center of gravity (CG) as 80.12737 inches. It also includes calculations for various load configurations, such as front seat passengers, fuel, and baggage, to determine the overall CG and ensure it remains within safe limits.
Safety notes
- Ensure the aircraft is level before taking measurements.
- Verify that the total weight does not exceed the maximum allowable weight for safe flight.

N149BD - S/N D-9924 1. Drain all fuel. 2. Place plane on the scales. 3. Level the plane front to back using a plumb bob to align the leveling screws on the left side of the fuselage. Level the plane left to right by measuring each wing tip to the floor. 4. Drop a plump bob from the center of the jack points to the floor and mark the floor. 5. Measure 83.1" forward from the jack point mark and mark the floor. This is datum. 6. Measure from datum to the center of the nose wheel axle and note the measurement (12"). This is the nose wheel arm. 7. Pull a string between the main axle centers. Drop a plumb bob from this string to the floor and make a mark. 8. Measure from the main axle center line mark to the datum mark and note this measurement (96.1"). This is the main wheel arm.
