FAA – Aircraft Weight and Balance Handbook 2016

Procedures for the preparation and the actual weighing of an aircraft are described, as are the methods of determining the location of the empty weight center of gravity (EWCG) relative to both the datum and the mean aerodynamic chord (MAC).
Loading computations for general aviation aircraft are discussed using both loading graphs and tables of weight and moment indexes.
Information is included that allows an FAA certifiated mechanic or repairman to determine the weight and center of gravity (CG) changes caused by repairs and alterations or removal and installation of equipment. This includes instructions for conducting adverse loaded CG checks, also explaining the way to determine the amount and location of ballast needed to bring the CG within allowable limits.
One chapter includes the methods and examples of solving weight and balance problems using a hand-held electronic calculator, E6-B flight computer, and a dedicated electronic flight compute
