DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Aircraft Weight and Balance Handbook has been prepared in recognition of the importance of weight and balance technology in conducting a safe and efficient flight. The objective of this handbook is twofold: to provide the airframe and powerplant mechanic (A&P) with the method of determining the empty weight and empty weight center of gravity (EWCG) of an aircraft and to furnish the flight crew with information on loading and operating the aircraft to ensure its weight is within the allowable limit and the center of gravity (CG) is within the allowable range. Any time there is a conflict between the information in this handbook and specific information issued by an aircraft manufacturer, the manufacturer’s data takes precedence over information in this handbook. This handbook supersedes FAA-H-8083-1A, Aircraft Weight and Balance Handbook, dated 2007. The figures and legends in this book are derived from the FAA website and modified to improve clarity. To protect the integrity of the FAA aeronautical products, this work contains all original notations and symbology.
