WEIGHT & BALANCE
Weight & Balance may be used during pre-flight preparations to verify the weight
and balance conditions of the aircraft. By entering the weight and arm values, the aera
can calculate the total weight, moment, and center of gravity (CG).
Before entering the various figures, the empty weight of the airplane and the arm (or
“station”) for each weight should be determined. These figures should be determined
using the pilot’s operating handbook for the airplane, which also notes the weight
limitations and fore/aft CG limits. Compare those figures to the values calculated by
the aera.
To perform weight and balance calculations:
1)
From the 'Home' Screen, touch Tools > Weight/Bal
2)
Touch the fields to enter the desired weights and arms (or “stations”). The
calculated moment, weight, and CG figures appear at the bottom of the
screen. Keep in mind that the “Aircraft” (empty weight/arm) figures must
be entered as a reference to calculate a valid moment, weight, and CG.
3)
To empty the aircraft, touch Menu > Empty Aircraft.
