Weight & Balance Calculations
The document provides detailed calculations for both zero fuel and takeoff weights. It includes sections for recording the weight, arm, and moment for various configurations of the helicopter, including passenger and baggage placements. Specific attention is given to the basic empty weight of the helicopter and the impact of removable items on weight calculations.
Fuel Management
Instructions for managing fuel loads are included, specifying the amounts of main and auxiliary fuel in gallons. The document emphasizes the importance of accurately recording fuel onboard to ensure proper weight and balance.
CG Envelopes
The document outlines the lateral and longitudinal center of gravity (CG) envelopes, which are critical for maintaining the helicopter's stability during flight. Pilots must ensure that the CG remains within specified limits for safe operation.
Flight Plan and Weather Considerations
There are sections for recording flight plan details, including route, time enroute, and alternate airports. Weather conditions such as visibility, winds, and ceilings are also noted to aid in flight planning.
Signatures and Approvals
The document requires signatures from the instructor and pilot, along with any necessary approvals for non-handbook airport operations. This ensures accountability and compliance with operational standards.
Safety notes
- If backrest cushion is used, subtract the thickness of the compressed cushion from weight calculations.
- Only use calculations for removable items if they are actually removed from the helicopter.
