Weight & Balance
Weight & Balance can be used during your pre-
flight preparations to verify the weight and balance
conditions for your aircraft. By entering the weight
and arm values on this page, the GPSMAP 96/96C
can calculate the total weight, moment and center of
gravity (CG) gures, ensuring a safe flight every time.
Before entering the various gures, you need to
determine the basic empty weight of the airplane
and the arm (or station) for each weight entered.
These gures should be determined using the pilot’s
operating handbook for your airplane. The pilot’s
operating handbook also notes the weight limitations
and fore/aft CG limits. Compare those gures to the
values calculated by the GPSMAP 96/96C.
