Five Stars DavieCakes Excellent!. Amazon Customer said Fantastic!. The stories in this FAA publication are riveting. Highly recommended to read while enjoying a nice bourbon! Almost brought me to tears!. "I liked it." according to Guilherme. Made by FAA, this book is very good, explain well all thing about Weight and Balance. I really recommend this book. But remember that is free via FAA website, just buy if you want a paper version.
About the AuthorThe Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), established in 1958, strives to “provide the safest, most efficient aerospace system in the world.”
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 A&P mechanic or repairman to determine the weight and center of gravity (CG) changes caused by repairs and alterations. A chapter is included giving the methods and examples of solving weight and balance problems, using handheld electronic calculators, E6-B flight computers, and a dedicated electronic flight computer.. The unique requirements for helicopter weight and balance control are discussed, including the determination of lateral CG and the way both lateral and longitudinal CG change as fuel is consumed. FAA -H-8083-1A, Aircraft Weight and Balance Handbook, has been prepared in recognition of the importance of weight and balance technology in conducting safe and efficient flight. The objective of this handbook is twofold: to provide th
