B per ECO AT-99 Page 4 of 5 SECTION 6 WEIGHT AND BALANCE When the Aero Twin Extended Baggage Kit EB8-200 is installed, a new weight and balance must be determined according to the following data and incorporated into the aircraft records. Equipment Installed Weight (lbs.) Arm (inches) Moment (in.-lbs./1000) Removed Cabin Rear Wall Assembly (to be determined at installation*): Cessna Models 208 or 208A Cessna Model 208B 308.0 356.0 Install Aero Twin Extended Baggage Kit No. EB8-200: Cessna Models 208 or 208A 36.3 327.6 Cessna Model 208B 36.3 375.6 11.89 12.63 Optional baggage kit Floor access panel in Models 208 and 208A 1.25 328 0.41 Optional baggage kit Floor access panel in Model 208B 1.25 376 0.47 The arm of baggage whose weight is evenly distributed over the compartment floor will be identical to that of the compartment itself. The arms of concentrated mass items carried in the baggage compartment must be individually measured, and their individual weights and moments must be used in computing the complete airplane's weight and balance FAA Approved Date: 14-Oct-04 Airplane Flight Manual Supplement Cessna 208, 208A & 208B Extended Baggage Kit Doc No. EB8-200-AFMS Rev. B per ECO AT-99 Page 5 of 5 SECTION 7 AIRPLANE SYSTEMS AND DESCRIPTIONS The Aero Twin, Inc. Extended Baggage Kit is installed aft of the standard cargo area. The forward end of the extended baggage compartment is located at fuselage station 308 for the Cessna 208 and 208A or fuselage station 356 for the Cessna 208B. The installation has increased the useful cargo capacity by 22 cubic feet, but DOES NOT increase the maximum gross takeoff weight. The useful load of the airplane is decreased by installed weight of the kit less the weight of the removed cabin rear wall assembly. Access to this area is obtained by removing the partition net, fastened to anchor plates around the forward perimeter of the extended baggage compartment. Cargo up to 100 lbs. can be loaded into the extended baggage area, weight and balance permitting. If the cargo is dense and occupies only a fraction of the volume of the cargo area, it should be tied down at the four corner anchor plates with an optional cargo net (Cessna P/N 2015009-3), or suitable strapping. Heavy objects with small supporting “feet" or protrusions with more than 24 lbs. per square inch of floor area must be supported on pads of some material such as 14 inch marine plywood, in order to avoid damaging the baggage compartment floor. More diffuse cargo which occupies most of the extended baggage compartment, can be placed in the compartment and retained by the partition net alone. The partition net must be securely installed before every flight, regardless of loading condition. The optional baggage kit floor access cover must be installed before loading any cargo into the extended baggage area; the access cover must be installed for all flight operations.
