Take Off and Landing CG Calculations
The document outlines the formulas for calculating the center of gravity (CG) for takeoff and landing. The Take Off CG is determined by dividing the Take Off Moments by the Take Off Weight, while the Landing CG is calculated by dividing the Landing Moments by the Landing Weight. These calculations are crucial for ensuring the aircraft is within safe operational limits.
Weight and Balance Data
The sheet provides specific weight data, including the Basic Empty Weight of 1171 lbs, maximum takeoff weight, and fuel weight conversions. It also includes a note on the weight of fuel, stating that 1 US gallon of fuel weighs 6 lbs. This information is vital for pilots to accurately assess the aircraft's loading.
CG Envelope Reference
Pilots are instructed to locate the calculated Take Off CG and Landing CG on the CG Envelope depicted in Figure 6-9. This visual reference helps ensure that the aircraft remains within safe CG limits during flight operations.
Safety notes
- Ensure the aircraft is loaded in accordance with the AFM and its certified weights and CG limits for Take Off and Landing.
