Maximum Weight Limits
The maximum gross weight for the Robinson R44 Raven II is 2,400 pounds. This limit is crucial for ensuring safe flight operations and must not be exceeded under any circumstances.
Center of Gravity (CG) Limits
The CG limits for the Robinson R44 Raven II are between 84.0 inches and 92.0 inches from the reference point. Maintaining the CG within this range is essential for stable flight characteristics.
Weight and Balance Calculation Procedures
To calculate weight and balance, pilots must account for the weight of the aircraft, passengers, baggage, and fuel. The total weight must be compared against the maximum gross weight, and the CG must be calculated to ensure it falls within the specified limits.
Safety notes
- Exceeding the maximum gross weight can lead to compromised flight performance and safety.
- Improper CG can result in unstable flight characteristics.
