LOADING COMPUTATION
LONGITUDINAL LOADING EXAMPLES
The empty weight and the moment of the AW139 helicopter can be found in
Chart B (Helicopter Weighing Record).
The values in Chart B are obtained by weighing the aircraft and computing
the empty weight, moment and CG.
Subsequently as items of equipment are added or removed, entries shall be
made in Chart C (Basic Weight and Balance Record) and the new empty
weight and balance computed.
The empty weight includes fixed ballast, hydraulic fluid, transmission oil,
engine oil and unusable fuel.
Two sample loadings are shown below (in the sample loading the empty
weight and CG arm are assumed to be 3700 Kg and 5500 mm).
