The Pilot�s Aircraft Weight & Balance Handbook is an essential FAA publication that provides pilots, flight instructors, and aviation maintenance technicians (AMTs) with comprehensive guidance on managing aircraft weight and balance for safe and efficient flight.
An overweight aircraft or one with an improperly located center of gravity poses serious risks. This handbook teaches how to accurately calculate, monitor, and adjust weight and balance to remain within FAA limits�making it a vital study tool for FAA Knowledge Exam prep and real-world flight operations.
The book covers basic principles, weighing procedures, and CG computations, using loading charts, graphs, and moment index tables. It also addresses how modifications, repairs, or equipment changes affect weight and CG. Separate chapters provide guidance for light-sport, single- and multi-engine, commuter and large aircraft, and helicopters, including lateral CG calculations.
Real-world examples show how to solve weight and balance problems using an E6-B flight computer, a handheld calculator, or dedicated electronic tools. Fully updated to reflect modern FAA standards and procedures, this 2016 edition is richly illustrated in full color.
