An overweight aircraft, or one whose center of gravity is outside the allowable limits, is inefficient and dangerous to fly. The responsibility for proper weight and balance control begins with the engineers and designers, and extends to the pilot and mechanic who flies and maintains the aircraft. This Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) publication addresses this safety-crucial topic and in studying this handbook, pilots and aviation mechanics will gain the necessary knowledge on the subject of aircraft weight and balance, in preparation for the FAA Knowledge Exam as well as safe flight and maintenance operations. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBasic aircraft weight and balance control principles and procedures for the preparation, and the actual weighing of an aircraft start the discussion, including the methods of determining the location of the empty weight center of gravity. Loading computations with loading graphs and tables of weight and moment indexes follow, including instructions on determining the weight and center of gravity changes caused by repairs and alterations or removal and installation of equipment. Chapters are dedicated to light-sport aircraft, single-engine aircraft, multi-engine aircraft, and commuter and large aircraft, as well as helicopter weight and balance control and determining lateral CG. Also included are examples of solving weight and balance problems using a hand-held electronic calculator, E6-B flight computer, and a dedicated electronic flight computer. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIllustrated throughout with detailed, full-color drawings, and includes a glossary and index.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), U S Department of Transportation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1619544814\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781619544819\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Aviation Supplies \u0026amp; Academics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/06\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.60h x 8.20w x 0.40d","brand":"Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44321498693887,"sku":"9781619544819","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f8749faa-73c3-4e6c-a8e9-eb64e7eaf76e.jpg?v=1696331213","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/aircraft-weight-and-balance-handbook-federal-aviation-administration-faa-9781619544819","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
