Hello fellows, take a look at this sample

I hope it can help to refresh your minds


regarding this subject.

REMEMBER!

This is only a SAMPLE, is not OFFICIAL and it is not accurate.


The main goal of this pages is to maintain ourselves
familiar with these charts and recall the calculations flow.
Hint: take those sheets and do it together, will be very easy.

Good Luck!

Here we can find the Cabin Index as follow:

Insert the number of Pax per cabin

And copy the indexes to the calculation table accordingly

On the next page we will perform the Cargo Index


Weight & Balance
Copy the cargo weights from the loadsheet here
To find the index for each Compartment proceed as following:
1- On CPT 1 we have 2199Kg.
Find the best numbers to match this value.
Use the same procedure for
2- Take the found indexes and add. Cabin Index Corrections if is not full.
3- Repeat this steps for the other Compartments.
Now, copy the found indexes accordingly

Let’s finish this…


Weight & Balance
As we have our ZFW, TOW, LIZFW and LITOW, we can draw the lines…

To find the CG, start from the crossing point of the lines to the %MAC line

1- ZFW LIZFW 82.3 LITOW 80.3

2- TOW
3- LIZFW
4- LITOW

5- MACZFW
6- MACTOW

Now copy the CG on


the Loadsheet
and the work is done!

At the first glance


it looks pretty fast,
but after 3 times it
will look like a turtle.
