SECTION 6
WEIGHT AND BALANCE
Note
In accordance with E.A.S.A. procedures, the detail weight
and balance data of this Section are not subject to
Printed copy not contractually maintained by Leonardo Helicopters
E.A.S.A. approval.
The loading instructions of this Section, however, have
been accepted by E.A.S.A. as satisfying all requirements
for instructions on loading of the rotorcraft within approved
limits of weight and center of gravity, and on maintaining
the loading within such limits.
GENERAL
This Section provides information for the weight and balance compu-
tation of the AW139 helicopter.
It is the pilot's responsibility to ensure that the helicopter is properly
loaded to maintain for the duration of the flight the center of gravity
within the limitations defined in Section 1 of the Rotorcraft Flight Man-
ual.
Figures, charts and examples are provided to assist the pilot in com-
puting the proper loading conditions.

PASSENGERS LOADING
The tables below give the recommended passenger loading sequence
to be followed for the 12 or 15 seats configurations, in order to main-
tain the center of gravity (CG) within the limits.
The passengers loading sequence may be altered, provided the pilot
ensures that the aircraft C of G limitations are not exceeded.

USE OF CHART A
The Chart A gives the weight, arm and moment of all the standard and
optional equipment. The manufacturer of the helicopter places check
marks in the “Basic Configuration” column to identify the items of

Note
The helicopter must be weighed in a closed hangar.

Note
If it is impossible to drain fuel due to fire hazard or local
regulations, fill fuel tanks to capacity. Since the weight of
fuel varies with temperature, determine actual specific
gravity by use of a hydrometer. Multiply by tank capacity to
obtain total fuel weight. Never weigh with partially filled

tanks.
Weighing procedure
(Figure 6-3)
4. Let each cell (1) and the scales indications become stable.
5. Record the weights shown on the scales for each cell. Make sure
that you record the related jack position for each weight.

USE OF CHART B
4. Divide the total moment by the net weight to obtain “as weighed”
CG position. Transfer the “TOTAL” (as weighed) weight arm and
moment to the sheet 2 of Chart B.
7. Add the total weight and moment of the basic items not in
helicopter when weighed (list these in column two). Added items
shall be marked on Chart A.
USE OF CHART C
Chart C is a continuous history of the basic weight and moment result-
ing from modifications and equipment is considered the current weight
and balance status of the basic helicopter. Make additions or subtrac-
tions to the basic weight and moment in Chart C as follows:

Note
If any equipment is not listed on Chart A, determine its
weight and arm, and list corresponding data on Charts A
and C.

USE OF CHART D
The Chart D provides information necessary for weight and balance
computation.
USE OF CHART E
The Chart E serves as a work sheet and records the calculations and
any corrections that must be made to ensure that helicopter will be
within weight and CG limits.
Note
A Chart E shall be filled prior to any flight.

CHART B - HELICOPTER WEIGHING RECORD Sheet 1 of 2
Scale type:
FORWARD 3160 0
Note 1
The forward lower Central Cabin is provided by two FWD jack points, only one FWD jack point is assured
by using a proper tool which collect both jacking points.
The Station Reference Datum ( STA 0 ) is located 3160 mm forward the FWD jack points. Therefore the
STA are positive.
E = Distance from the reference datum (STA 0) to the FWD jackpoint Station of 3160 mm.
F = Distance from the reference datum (STA 0) to the LH and RH aft jackpoints Station of 6700 mm.
Note 2
The Buttock Line Reference Datum ( BL 0 ) is located on the fuselage Center Line.
Therefore the BL are negative on the Left Hand side and positive on the Right Hand side.
