Meteorological Terminology bar. bar - unit of pressure, 1 bar = 1 000 mbar Indicated Pressure Altitude The number actually read from an altimeter when the barometric subscale has been set to 1013.25 hPa (29.92” Hg). Pressure Altitude Altitude measured from standard sea level pressure (1013.25 hPa (29.92” Hg)) by a pressure or barometric altimeter.

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. Aircraft Flight Manual SECTION 1 General 22.MAR 2016 1 - 11 C.G.
