Flight performance and planning

Here you see a

Loading Graph

(loading chart),

which you will need

to use when you

need to find the

moment.

Here are instructions on how to use the charts.

First the loading chart (above) - which is used to find the moment for the different

weights.

example, the moment for pilot + passenger (weight 330 lbs) is found as follows:

1) Find 330 on the vertical scale

2) Go horizontally to the right to the graph for 'Pilot & Front Passenger'

3) Go vertically down to the horizontal axis
4) Read the number (here approx. 12.2 - the red arrow on the horizontal axis)

The full weight (in our case 2300 lbs) and the total moment (104.2) are then

entered into a graph as on the next page.

The full weight is found on the vertical axis.

The total moment on the horizontal axis.
