Data presented in this docu- ment will enable you to carry out this responsibility and insure that your air- plane is loaded to operate within the prescribed weight and center-of-gravity limitations. FAA regulations also require that any change in the original equipment affect- ing the empty weight center of gravity be recorded in the Aircraft Log Book, A form for maintaining a permanent record of all such changes is provided on page 3-1. This form, if properly maintained, will enable you to determine the current weight-and-balance status of the airplane for load scheduling. The weight-and-balance data entered as your aircraft left the factory, plus the re- cord you maintain on page 3-1, is all of the data needed to compute loading schedules. The maximum certificated gross weight for the Mooney STATESMAN under all operating conditions is 2525 pounds. Maximum useful load is determined by subtracting the corrected aircraft empty weight from its maximum gross weight. The STATESMAN must be operated strictly within the limits of the Center-of-Gravity Moment Envelope shown on page 2–3. i 13 1098 THU 09;21 FAX 896 3133 SERVICE PARTS →→→ PRODUCT SUPPORT ☑004/010 WEIGHT & BALANCE RECORD MOONEY STATESMAN MODEL M20G SECTION 1.

PILOTS LOADING GUIDE LOADING CALCULATION PROCEDURE Proper loading of the aircraft is essential for maximum flight performance and safety. This section will assist you in determining whether the aircraft loading schedule is within the approved weight and center-of-gravity limits. To figure an actual loading problem for your STATESMAN proceed as follows: Step 1. Refer to the latest entry on page 31 for the current empty weight and moment. Step 2. Step 3. Step 4. Step 5. Step 6. Step 7. NOTE: Since the engine oil is normally kept at the full level, use the oil weight and moment figures shown in the sample problems as con- stants in calculating all loading problems. Note the pilot's weight and the position his seat will occupy in flight. Find this weight on the left scale of the Loading Computation Graph (page 2-3) and cross the graph horizontally to the point representing the pilot's seat position between the FWD and AFT position lines on the graph for #1 and #2 seats. When this point is located, drop down to the bottom scale to find the value of the moment/1000 due to the pilot's weight and seat position. Repeat the procedure for the copilot and enter these weights and

moment/1000 values in the proper subcolumns in the Problem Form on page 2-2. Proceed as in Step 2 to account for the passengers in seats 3 and 4. Enter the weight and value of moment/1000 in the proper columns. Again proceed as in Step 2 to account for the amount of fuel carried, and enter the weight and moment/1000 values in the proper columns. Once more proceed as in Step 2 to account for the baggage to be car- ried and enter the figures in the proper columns. Total the weight columns. This total must be 2525 pounds or less. Total the Moment/1000 column.. Do not forget to subtract negative numbers. Refer to the Center-of-Gravity Moment Envelope (page 2-3). Lo- cate the loaded weight of your airplane on the left scale of the graph and trace a line horizontally to the right. Locate the total moment/ 1000 value for your airplane on the bottom scale of the graph and trace a line vertically above this point until the horizontal line for weight is intersected. If the point of intersection is within the shad- ed area, your aircraft loading is acceptable. If the point of inter- section falls outside the shaded area, you must rearrange the load before takeoff, 2-1 12/10/98 THU 09:21 FAX 896 3133 SERVICE PARTS →→→ PRODUCT SUPPORT PROBLEM FORM FAA Registration No. STEP ITEM SAMPLE PROBLEM #1 PILOT & THREE PASS.
