WEIGHT & BALANCE
RAM Diamond Weight and Balance Rev. 001 Effective: 03.13.18 1
Max Gross Weight: 2535.00 LBS
Useful Load: 827.00 LBS
Basic Empty Weight (N556LU - 07/12/2010): 1818.60 LBS
Useable Fuel: 50 GAL (300 LBS)
Weight X Arm = Moment (divide by 1000 for smaller numbers)
Moment divided by Weight = Center of Gravity x 1000 = C.G.
Weight and Balance Example:
WEIGHT X ARM = MOMENT/1000
Basic Empty Weight 1818.6 X 97.55 = 177.40
Pilot/Passenger 370 X 90.6 = 33.52
Rear Passengers 120 X 128.0 = 15.36
Fuel 180 X 103.5 = 18.63
Baggage in Standard (66 lb.) 50 X 143.7 = 7.19
Baggage in Tube (11 lb.) 0 X 170.1 = 0
Baggage Ext. Forward (100 lb.) 0 X 153.1 = 0
Baggage Extended Aft (40 lb.) 0 X 178.7 = 0
Ramp Weight/Moment 2538.6 252.10
Taxi and Run-Up -5.0 X -103.5 = -0.52
Takeoff Weight 2533.6 251.58
Takeoff C.G. 99.30 Refer to Section 6 AFM
En-route Fuel Burn - 120.0 X -103.5 = - 12.42
Landing Weight 2413.6 239.16
Landing C.G. 99.09 Refer to Section 6 AFM
