Objectives 1.Calculate Weight and Balance for C172SP 2.Practice questions
1. Calculate W&B – 172SP C172SP Calculating the Weight and Balance for the Cessna 172 SP uses the same procedure as the CASA Loading System B. Aircraft Details: Max. Ramp Weight = 2558lbs (1160kg) MTOW = 2550lbs (1157kg) MLW = 2550lbs (1157kg) Useable fuel = 201L
1. Calculate W&B – 172SP C172SP Calculate the weight and balance given the following information: Aircraft – USM Row 1 – Two people weighing 70kg each Row 2 – One person weighing 60kg Baggage “A” – 10kg (plus the 5kg box of oil, ropes, etc.) Full Fuel
