Reims-Cessna F172 — Weight And Balance

This document provides essential information for calculating the weight and balance of a Cessna aircraft, specifically focusing on the Cessna 172 model. It outlines the procedures for determining the aircraft's weight and center of gravity (CG) limitations, ensuring safe operation within prescribed parameters. The document includes a sample loading problem to illustrate the process, along with a loading graph and center of gravity moment envelope to assist pilots in verifying acceptable loading conditions. This information is crucial for pilots and operators to maintain safety and performance standards during flight operations.

• Use the licensed Empty Weight and Moment/1000 from the Weight and Balance Data sheet.
• Calculate the moment for each item to be carried using the Loading Graph.
• Ensure the total weight and moment fall within the Center of Gravity Moment Envelope.
