QueWeight & Balance
QueWeight & Balance may be used during
your pre-flight preparations to calculate the
total weight, moment, and center of gravity
(CG) figures.
Before entering the various figures, you need to
determine the basic empty weight of the airplane
and the arm (or “station”) for each weight entered.
These figures should be determined using the
pilot’s operating handbook for your airplane. The
pilot’s operating handbook will also note the weight
limitations and fore/aft CG limits. Compare those
figures to the values calculated by the iQue 3600a.
To open QueWeight & Balance, display the Que
Applications Launcher by pressing ESCAPE.
Highlight QueWeight & Balance and press ENTER.
Entering the Aircraft Profile
Before you perform Weight and Balance operations,
you should enter your aircraft profile. Define the
cruising speed, maximum speed, and fuel flow for
up to ten aircraft that you regularly fly in Aircraft
Profile Preferences. Cruising speed and fuel flow are
used as default settings when viewing trip planning
information on the Active Route page. The maximum
speed figure is used to define the range for airspeed in
QueNav and is automatically updated if you exceed
this figure.
