Weight and Balance Data
The document lists the empty weight of the Cessna 172R as 1661.26 lbs with an arm of 39.24 inches, resulting in a moment of 65187.84. It provides weight allowances for fuel (48 lbs), front passengers (34 to 46 lbs), rear passengers (73 lbs), and baggage areas (95 lbs for Area 1 and 123 lbs for Area 2). This information is essential for calculating the takeoff and landing weights.
Center of Gravity Calculation
The center of gravity (C.G.) is calculated using the formula: C.G. = Total Moment / Total Weight. This calculation is crucial for ensuring that the aircraft is within safe operating limits during flight.
Pilot Responsibilities
The document stresses that it is the responsibility of the Pilot in Command (PIC) to verify the current weight and balance record according to the aircraft's Pilot's Operating Handbook (POH). This is a critical safety measure to ensure proper aircraft handling.
Safety notes
- It is the responsibility of PIC to verify the current weight and balance record according to the aircraft POH.
