GPS Global Positioning System IFR Instrument Flight Rules IMC Instrument Metrological Conditions RWY Runway TWR Tower TXY Taxi Way VFR Visual Flight Rules VMC Visual Meteorological Conditions Weight & Balance Reference Datum An imaginary vertical plane from which all horizontal distances are measured for balance purposes. Station A location along the airplane fuselage usually given in terms of distance from the reference datum. Arm The horizontal distance from the reference datum to the centre of gravity (C.G.) of an item Moment The product of the weight of item multiplied by its arm. (Moment divided by a constant is used to simplify balance calculations by reducing the number of digits.) Centre of Gravity (C.G.) The point at which an airplane would balance if suspended. Its distance from the reference datum is found by dividing the total moment by the total weight of the airplane C.G. Arm The arm obtained by adding the airplane's individual moments and dividing the sum by the total weight. C.G.
