How to Use This Calculator
- Enter your aircraft's empty weight and arm from the W&B sheet (found in the POH).
- Enter weights for pilot, passengers, fuel, and baggage.
- Enter the arm (station) for each loading station from the POH loading diagram.
- Verify the CG is within limits and total weight doesn't exceed max gross.
