WEIGHT & BALANCE GENERAL INSTALLED EQUIPMENT LIST SAMPLE LOADING PROBLEM LOADING GRAPH FLIGHT ENVELOPE GENERAL It is the pilot’s responsibility to ensure that the aircraft is loaded properly and within the weight and balance limitations. All flight performance, procedures and characteristics are based on this prerequisite. The actual licensed empty weight and CG of a specific aircraft can be found on the Weight and Balance Form and the Operating Limitations Card, both of which are a permanent part of the aircraft’s file. All additional changes to the aircraft’s empty weight and CG after the time of manufacture must also be attached to or indicated on both forms. From this information and the following instructions, the pilot can easily determine the useful load and proper loading distribution for the aircraft.
