Overview

This document serves as a Weight and Balance reference for the Robinson R22 Beta II helicopter. It is designed for use by students and instructors to ensure proper loading and balance of the aircraft. The document includes sections for calculating the center of gravity (CG) both with and without fuel, as well as lateral CG considerations. It provides a structured format for entering weights, arms, and moments, which are essential for safe flight operations. The information is critical for maintaining the aircraft's performance and safety during flight.

  • The document is specifically for the Robinson R22 Beta II.
  • It includes calculations for both longitudinal and lateral center of gravity (CG).
  • Weights for pilot, baggage, and passengers must be accurately recorded for CG calculations.
  • Fuel quantities in the main and auxiliary tanks affect CG and must be considered.
  • Maintaining proper weight and balance is critical for safe flight operations.

Longitudinal CG

This section outlines the calculations for the longitudinal center of gravity (CG) of the Robinson R22 Beta II. It includes entries for empty weight, pilot and baggage weight, passenger and baggage weight, and other weights. The document specifies the arms and moments associated with each weight entry, allowing for a total CG calculation with and without fuel. The main and auxiliary tank fuel capacities are also noted, which affect the CG calculations.

Lateral CG

The lateral CG section provides details for calculating the lateral center of gravity for the Robinson R22 Beta II. It includes similar entries for empty weight, pilot and baggage, and passenger and baggage, with corresponding arms and moments. The section also highlights the importance of lateral balance, indicating how fuel in the main and auxiliary tanks can influence the lateral CG.

Safety notes

  • Improper weight and balance can lead to unsafe flight conditions.
  • Always verify CG calculations before flight.
