When performing weight and balance calculations:
- Start with the empty weight of the aircraft.
- Add the weight of crew, passengers, fuel, and baggage.
- Ensure the total weight does not exceed the max takeoff weight of 4,300 lbs.
- Calculate the center of gravity (CG) based on the weight distribution.
- Verify that the CG falls within the approved range for takeoff, flight, and landing.
Remember to always use the specific weight and balance information provided in the aircraft’s Pilot’s Operating Handbook for accurate calculations.
