Empty mass is mass of empty aircraft with equipment and accessories in accordance with equipment<br />

list. Refer to Weight and Balance report for actual value.<br />

»Empty mass c.g. limits« diagram provides empty mass c.g. limits within which flight mass c.g. is kept<br />

in limits. Or differently, the diagram is used to find out cockpit load with respect to mass and c.g. of<br />

empty aircraft.<br />

Minimum cockpit load is obtained as follows:<br />

1. Locate c.g. of empty mass X CG.empty<br />

[mm] at the Left-hand vertical axis and draw a horizontal line<br />

through it.<br />

2. Locate empty mass G0 [kg] at the bottom horizontal axis and draw a vertical line through it.<br />

3. The intersection of two lines drawn determines minimum cockpit load. Interpolate between lines<br />

of constant minimum cockpit load (RED - 65, 70, 75 kg, ...), if necessary.<br />

NOTE: MIN. COCKPIT LOAD MAY BE REDUCED FOR 2.3 KG PER EACH LITRE OF W. BALLAST.
