Abstract

This paper presents a nomographic method of figuring weight and balance (an alignment chart), similar to one used by many large aircraft operations because of its speed, simplicity, and accuracy. Using a Basic Empty Weight Index, a simplified weight record (manifest). Leadlines, and a CG Grid it can be easily adapted for use by light aircraft with a minimum of effort, no change in present methods, manuals, or F.A.A. Regulations, and does not require any special equipment.
