This document is a weight and centre of gravity calculator for aircraft. It allows the user to input values for the maximum gross weight, fuel capacity, forward and aft centre of gravity limits of the aircraft. It then calculates the total weight and centre of gravity based on the weights and arms entered for items like the empty aircraft, pilot, passengers, baggage, and fuel. The maximum allowable fuel is also displayed. It provides examples of loading for single and two-seater aircraft to show compliance with relevant regulations.

To use the Weight and CG Calculator, input the appropriate values in the light blue cells. The resulting total weights and CGs will be displayed in the yellow cells.
A/C Max Gross Weight = kgs
Max fuel capacity = litres
equals 0.0 kgs Note: To convert imperial gallons to litres, multiply by 4.54.
CG forward limit = mm forward of datum
CG aft limit = mm forward of datum Note:For CG's/arms forward of the datum, precede the number entered with a -ve sign.
ITEM WEIGHT (kgs) ARM (mm) MOMENT(kg.mm)
A/C EMPTY WEIGHT 0 PILOT 0 PASSENGER 0 BAGGAGE 0 OTHER 0 ZERO FUEL TOTALS 0 0 ZERO FUEL CG = #DIV/0! #DIV/0! FUEL (TO NOT EXCEED MTOW) 0.0 0 TOTALS 0.0 0 LOADED CG = #DIV/0! #DIV/0!
Maximum allowable fuel = 0.0 litres
equals 0.0 imperial gallons
For loading examples to show compliance with CS-VLA or BCAR Section S,
single seaters must be able to accommodate full fuel and a pilot of 86kgs whereas two seaters must accommodate a pilot weight of between 55kgs and 86kgs and a passenger weight of 0 to 86kgs with a minimum of 1 hour’s fuel.
