Maximum Takeoff Weight
The maximum takeoff weight for the Cirrus SR20 G6 is 3,100 lbs. This weight includes the aircraft, fuel, passengers, and cargo. Exceeding this limit can compromise safety and performance.
Empty Weight
The empty weight of the Cirrus SR20 G6 is approximately 2,400 lbs. This weight is crucial for calculating the useful load and ensuring that the aircraft is within safe operating limits.
Weight Distribution
Proper weight distribution is vital for maintaining aircraft balance. The center of gravity (CG) must remain within specified limits during all phases of flight. The document provides charts and calculations to assist pilots in determining the CG based on loading.
Useful Load
The useful load for the Cirrus SR20 G6 is approximately 700 lbs. This includes passengers, baggage, and fuel. Pilots must ensure that the total weight does not exceed the maximum takeoff weight.
Loading Procedures
The document outlines recommended loading procedures to ensure that weight is distributed evenly. It emphasizes the importance of placing heavier items in the front of the baggage compartment to maintain balance.
Safety notes
- Exceeding maximum takeoff weight can compromise safety and performance.
- Improper weight distribution can lead to loss of control during flight.

Cirrus Design SR20 Introduction Section 6 Weight and Balance Data This section describes the procedure for calculating the weight and moment for various operations. A comprehensive list of all equipment available for this airplane is included at the back of this section. It should be noted that specific information regarding the weight, arm, moment, and installed equipment for this airplane as delivered from the factory can be found at the back of this section. It is the responsibility of the pilot to ensure that the airplane is loaded properly. All changes to the basic empty weight and center of gravity are the responsibility of the operator. REF DATUM FS 0,0 FS 100.0 FS 142.5 WL 100.0 SR22_FM06_5337 Basic empty weight, moment, and center of gravity are provided in inches aft of datum, where 0 inches datum is 100.0 inches forward of the cabin firewall. CG can also be expressed in terms of its location as a percentage of the airplane Mean Aerodynamic Cord (MAC) using the following formula: Where: CG% MAC = 100 × (CG Inches - LEMAC) / MAC LEMAC = 133.1 MAC = 47.7 • Note • Leveling and Weighing procedures are not described in this section. Refer to Airplane Maintenance Manual (AMM), Chapter 8, Leveling and Weighing. P/N 11934-005 Original Issue 6-3 Section 6 Weight and Balance Data Loading Instructions Cirrus Design SR20 It is the responsibility of the pilot to ensure that the airplane is properly loaded and operated within the prescribed weight and center of gravity limits. The following information enables the pilot to calculate the total weight and moment for the loading. The calculated moment is then compared to the Moment Limits chart or table (Figure 6-3) for a determination of proper loading. Airplane loading determinations are calculated using the Weight & Balance Loading Form (Figure 6-1), the Loading Data chart and table (Figure 6-2), and the Moment Limits chart and table (Figure 6-3). - 1. Basic Empty Weight – Enter the current Basic Empty Weight and Moment from the Weight & Balance Record (Figure 6-4). 2. 3. Front Seat Occupants - Enter the total weight and moment/1000 for the front seat occupants from the Loading Data (Figure 6-2). Rear Seat Occupant(s) - Enter the total weight and moment/1000 for the rear seat occupants from the Loading Data (Figure 6-2). 4. Baggage – Enter weight and moment for the baggage from the Loading Data (Figure 6-2). • If desired, subtotal the weights and moment/1000 from steps 1 through 4. This is the Zero Fuel Condition. It includes all useful load items excluding fuel. - 5. Fuel Loading Enter the weight and moment of usable fuel loaded on the airplane from the Loading Data (Figure 6-2). • Subtotal the weight and moment/1000. This is the Ramp Condition or the weight and moment of the aircraft before taxi. 6. Fuel for start, taxi, and run-up - This value is pre-entered on the form. Normally, fuel used for start, taxi, and run-up is approximately 9 pounds at an average moment/1000 of 1.394. Takeoff Condition - Subtract the weight and moment/1000 for step 8 (start, taxi, and run-up) from the Ramp Condition values (step 7) to determine the Takeoff Condition weight and moment/ 1000. 7. The total weight at takeoff must not exceed the maximum weight limit of 3150 pounds. The total moment/1000 must not be above the maximum or below the minimum moment/1000 for the Takeoff Condition Weight as determined from the Moment Limits chart or table (Figure 6-3). 6-4 P/N 11934-005 Original Issue Muster: SR 20 RÖDER AVIATION EXCELLENCE SINCE 1922 Daten nach Kennblatt bzw.
