This course focuses on the principles and calculations of Aircraft Mass (Weight) Balance and Control. It covers the relationship between aircraft mass and performance, as well as the position of the center of gravity and its impact on performance.

The course also discusses weight and balance definitions, consequences of operating outside certified limits, and the importance of mass and center of gravity limitations. Participants will learn how to calculate actual mass and center of gravity, prepare a load and trim sheet, calculate maximum possible load in the cargo compartment, secure cargo loads, and understand aircraft stability.

This course covers the following topics:

  • Purpose & Objectives of Mass and Balance (M&B)
  • Mass & C.G. Limitations
  • Key Terminology & Documentation
  • Aircraft Mass Determination
  • Centre of Gravity Concepts
  • C.G. Calculation Fundamentals
  • Mass & Load Calculations
  • Load & Trim Sheet
  • Cargo & Load Management
  • C.G. Control & Adjustment
