Task 08-10-00-200-001-A
Weighing and Balancing
1. Reason for the Job
This procedure gives data to find the operating empty weight of the aircraft and to calculate the center of gravity.

NOTE : To get accurate results, we recommend to weigh the aircraft on a level area in a hangar with:
. the hangar doors and windows closed.
. the hangar heating, air conditioning and ventilation systems stopped.
Wind and air flows prevent accurate results.

NOTE : Do not put the safety stay in position before you make the aircraft level.
(2) Read the pitch and roll angles at the bottom of the display (scratchpad).

NOTE : Angle value:

. A positive degree value angle of the roll means that the right wing is down.
. A negative degree value angle of the roll means that the left wing is down.
. A positive degree value angle of the pitch means that the nose of the aicraft is up.
. A negative degree value angle of the pitch means that the nose of the aircraft is down.
(3) Operate the hydraulic jack below the wing at rib 9 to get the transverse alignment.
(4) Operate the hydraulic jack below the fuselage at FR8 to get the longitudinal alignment.

A. Aircraft Leveling
(Ref. Fig. 08-22-00-991-00300-A - Transverse and Longitudinal Alignment)
(1) Operate the hydraulic jacks installed at RIB8 to align points 2L and 2R with the sight tube. You get the
tranverse alignment.
(2) Operate the hydraulic jacks installed at FR8 to align points 11 and 12 with the sight tube. You get the
longitudinal alignment.
(3) When you have done the longitudinal alignment, do a check of the transverse alignment.
(4) Put the safety stay in position between FR73 an FR74.
5. Close-up
