4. Aircraft Changes
If the customer modifies the aircraft to which this WBM applies, Bombardier Aerospace
Regional Aircraft (BARA) can include the changes in the revisions of the WBM on agreement
between BARA and the customer. The changes must be correctly documented and approved
by BARA.
This does not include JAA, FAA, DOT or other mandatory changes for which the manual will
be revised to include the mandatory changes.

5. Units for the WBM


Bombardier Aerospace Regional Aircraft supplies the WBM in the units which agree with those
appearing on the aircraft to which the WBM is related.
If the units appearing on the aircraft are American they are shown in this manual as Standard.
To change the units from Standard to SI, refer to paragraph 11.

WEIGHT AND BALANCE MANUAL

If the units appearing on the aircraft are metric they are shown in this manual as SI. To change
the units from SI to Standard or from Standard to SI, refer to paragraph 11.
In this manual, some fuel−related data may also be shown in Imperial units. This is necessary
as the aircraft fuel supply may be available only in these units.

6. Personnel Qualifications
Only fully approved personnel must calculate the weight and balance and a load and trim
sheet as shown in this manual (CSP A−041).

7. Front Matter

A. Manual Front Matter

(1) Title Page


The title page contains the Canadair Regional Jet masthead, the identification and
the initial issue date of the manual.

(2) Record of Revisions


The Record of Revisions is found after the title page. This record must be completed
when a revision to the WBM is received.

(3) Record of Temporary Revisions


The Record of Temporary Revisions follows the Record of Revisions. The Record of
Temporary Revisions must be changed each time a temporary revision is added or
removed from the WBM.

(4) Service Bulletins


A numerical list of Service Bulletins follows the Record of Temporary Revisions.
This list shall be revised at the same time as the manual and shall contain the data
that follows:
− The revision number of the service bulletin(s)
− The date the service bulletin was included in the manual or the words no effect"
to show that no change to the manual is necessary for that service bulletin.

B. Chapter Front Matter

(1) Effective Pages


A list of effective pages is found at the front of each chapter. It identifies each page
by chapter/section/subject and also gives the number and the date of each page.

(2) Table of Contents

(3) Aircraft Effectivity


Aircraft serial numbers are used to give the effectivity of subjects and/or details
applicable to different configurations. Data that is applicable to all configurations will
not show effectivity.

8. Organization of Manual

A. General
The WBM is organized on four levels as specified by ATA 100. These levels are usually
referred to as group, chapter, section and subject. Each page contains the
chapter−section− subject number, the page number, the effectivity code of the page and
the revision date of the page.
The groups are divided into chapter/system; the chapter/system is divided into
section/subsystem and the section/subsystem is divided into subject/unit as follows:

Level 1 Group

Level 2 Chapter/System

Level 3 Section/Subsystem

Level 4 Subject/Unit

B. Group
Groups give a broad separation of the contents of the manual. The WBM is organized
into two groups. Each group contains subject matter usually known as chapters and are
divided as follows:

WBM

Group 1 Group 2

C. Chapter/System
This level is usually known as the chapter. It has inter-related components arranged to do
a specific function and is further divided into subsystems usually known as sections.
Each chapter is assigned its number and title by ATA 100 and is identified by the first
element in the standard numbering system.

CHAPTER

DEFINITION OF TERMS − GENERAL

1. General
In this section, the terms used for the important weight and balance conditions are clearly
defined. This helps to prevent errors in the use of the data in the Weight and Balance Manual
(WBM). Many of the terms are shown as abbreviations and as arithmetic definitions.

2. Zero Fuel Weight (ZFW)


This is the operational weight empty (OWE) plus the payload (P/L). It must not be more than
the maximum zero fuel weight (MZFW).
ZFW = OWE + P/L

3. Drainable Fuel
This is the portion of the unusable fuel that can be removed from the fuel tanks. This can be
found when you subtract the trapped fuel from the unusable fuel.
Drainable fuel = unusable fuel − trapped fuel

4. Manufacturer’s Weight Empty (MWE)


This is the weight of the aircraft which includes only the components that are clearly part of the
aircraft (power plant, structure systems). It is a dry weight which includes only the fluids
contained in closed systems.

5. Maximum Landing Weight (MLW)


This is the maximum approved weight at which an aircraft can land.
MLW = maximum weight for landing

6. Maximum Takeoff Weight (MTOW)


This is the maximum weight at which an aircraft can start a takeoff run.
MTOW = MRW − fuel allowance for taxi

7. Maximum Ramp Weight (MRW)


This is the maximum weight at which an aircraft can move safely on the ground. It includes
the fuel for these displacements and the takeoff run.
MRW = MTOW + fuel allowance for taxi

8. Maximum Zero Fuel Weight (MZFW)


This is the maximum weight of an aircraft before the usable fuel is loaded on the aircraft.
MZFW= maximum weight before fueling

9. Maximum Payload
This is the weight which you get when you subtract the operational weight empty (OWE) from
the maximum zero fuel weight.

AIR NOSTRUM Page 1


EFFECTIVITY: ALL
01−00−20 Mar 10/06
C
WEIGHT AND BALANCE MANUAL

Maximum payload = MZFW − OWE

10. Minimum Flight Weight


This is the minimum weight at which an aircraft can fly and land.

11. Operational Weight Empty (OWE)


This is the sum of the weight of the operational items added to the manufacturer’s weight
empty (MWE).

12. Operational Items


This is the weight which you get as you add the personnel, equipment and supplies necessary
for a specific operation.
Operational items = personnel + equipment + supplies

13. Payload (P/L)


This is the weight of the passengers, cargo, baggage and any additional load.
P/L = weight of passengers + cargo + baggage + additional load

14. Trapped Fuel


This is the fuel that is left after the usual fuel drain.
Trapped fuel = fuel left after defueling and draining

15. Unusable Fuel


This is the fuel that is left after the engines and the auxiliary power unit (APU) have run out of
fuel. This includes the drainable fuel and the trapped fuel.

16. Usable Fuel


This is the fuel available for the aircraft engines.

17. Useful Load


This is the weight found when you subtract the operational weight empty (OWE) from the ramp
weight. This includes the payload and usable fuel.
Useful load = ramp weight − OWE

1. General
This section shows data on the fuel tank configuration. It also shows data on the unusable
and usable fuel in the main and center fuel tanks.
For the definition of other fuel−related terms, refer to 01−00−20.

2. Fuel Tank Configuration


The aircraft has two standard fuel tanks. The standard fuel tanks are found in each wing, and
the optional fuel tank is found in the lower part of the center fuselage. The standard fuel tanks
are identified as the main tanks and the optional fuel tank is identified as the center tank (refer
to Figure 2).
The correct refuel/defuel procedures are found in the Aircraft Maintenance Manual (refer to
AMM 12−11−28).

3. Unusable Fuel
The unusable fuel includes the two types of fuel that follow (refer to Figure 1):

A. Trapped Fuel
This is the unusable fuel left after the usual defueling and draining.

B. Residual Fuel
This is the unusable fuel that can be removed through drain points with the
usual procedures.

COMPARTMENT VOLUME − GENERAL

1. General
The passenger compartment is found between the flight compartment bulkhead at FS280.00
and the aft passenger compartment bulkhead at FS559.00+84.00. This area has a volume of
50.9 m3 (1797.2 ft3) and contains the passenger area and the storage compartments in the
galley (refer to Figure 1).

2. Compartment Volumes
Many storage compartments are installed in different parts of the aircraft. These
compartments include the overhead bins, underseat storage, the wardrobe storage and the
cargo compartment. Refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 for their volumes and dimensions.
NOTE: See the effectivity block on the page for applicable aircraft seral numbers.

3. Maximum Package Dimensions


In order to determine whether it is possible to stow a rectangular package of a certain
dimension in the cargo compartment, the table in Figure 4 may be used.
The tables should be entered in the relevant column and on the relevant line, the intersection
box of column and line shows the maximum package length in centimeters. No attempt has
been made to calculate the number of packages per compartment, nor to determine the
progressive reduction in compartment size due to loading. Therefore, the figures shown in the
table apply to empty compartments only and packages stored flat on the floor.

4. Cargo Compartment
The limiting dimensions are as follows:
− Largest* rectangular ended package: 109.2 X 76.2 X 217.2 cm (43.0 X 30.0 X 85.5 in.)
− Largest* square ended package: 76.2 X 76.2 X 217.2 cm (30.0 X 30.0 X 85.5 in.)
− Longest package with square end of 53.3 X 7.6 cm (21.0 X 3.0 in.).

GROUND BALANCE LIMITS − GENERAL

1. General
When the aircraft is supplied, it has a configuration that helps to prevent accidental tipover
(refer to Figure 1). The aircraft may be put into a possible tipover condition if any change is
done to the basic configuration of the aircraft. The changes can include one or more of those
that follow:
− Add equipment
− Remove equipment
− Move equipment
− Unusual ground operations.

2. Stable Aircraft Inspection


Before you perform any change to the aircraft, do the steps that follow to make sure the
aircraft will remain stable.
A. Make an analysis of the aircraft weight and balance moment for the desired configuration
(refer to the equipment checklist in 02−00−00).

B. Check the weight and center of gravity of the aircraft (from the analysis in step A) (refer to
Figure 1).

C. Ballast the aircraft if minimal margin exists to tipover. Rework steps A, B, and C for any
future changes. The ballast should be installed at FS300.00 without exceeding the floor
loading limits of 744 kg/m (500 lb/ft) parallel to the fuselage plane.
NOTE: Additional precautions must be taken if the conditions that follow occur:
(a) Fresh fallen snow on the horizontal stabilizer and pylons
(b) Aircraft located on an inclined surface.

The tables shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 may be used for weight and balance calculations
for static stability.

3. Towing
CAUTION: THE MINIMUM LOAD OF 680 KG (1500 LB) ON THE NOSEWHEEL IS LIMITED
BY CENTER OF GRAVITY ENVELOPE AND MUST NOT BE DECREASED. IT IS
ALSO LIMITED BY THE STRUCTURE OF THE STEERING CAMS FOR THE
NOSEWHEEL. IF THE AIRCRAFT IS TOWED OR TAXIED WITH A NOSEWHEEL
LOAD LESS THAN 680 KG (1500 LB), POSSIBLE PROBLEMS CAN OCCUR
AFFECTING THE STEERING CAMS AND SO AFFECT THE SHOCK
ABSORBERS FOR THE NOSEWHEEL.
When the aircraft is towed, keep a minimum load of 680 kg (1500 lb) on the nosewheel. If the
load on the nosewheel is not sufficient, add ballast on the floor of the passenger compartment
(ballast as per paragraph 2.).

4. Nose Landing Gear


The ground static load envelope for the nose landing gear is shown in Figure 4.

5. Ground Limitations
The aircraft CG must always remain forward of 47% MAC (FS540.50) to minimize the risk of tail
tipping (tipover). In the event of high wind conditions (in excess of 60 knots) it is
recommended that you observe one of the procedures that follow:
A. Secure the aircraft at the appropriate picketing points (refer to CSP−A−001−002 and
CSP−A−035), or
B. Park the aircraft in a closed hanger, or
C. Add ballast to the nose of the aircraft to make sure that there is sufficient tipover
protection.
Particular care should be taken with aircraft that are in a lightweight/aft CG configuration
(i.e. low fuel/highly loaded cargo compartment/no passenger/no crew).

The maximum allowable loading for any localized area of the floor is 366.2 kg/m2 (cargo floor
maximum loading). This maximum is applicable for all loading cases except those cases for
which the maximum load per linear meter (along the fuselage longitudinal axis) is greater than
the fuselage structure maximum loading (i.e. 92.3 kg/m for Zone A, 270.8 kg/m for Zone B and
744.1 kg/m for Zone C). For these unusual cases, the maximum allowable loading for the cargo
floor is limited by the fuselage structure maximum loading restrictions.
The crew baggage is to be stowed in the shaded region of Zone B.

LEVELING AND WEIGHING PROCEDURE − GENERAL

1. General
The leveling and weighing procedure permits you to make the aircraft level and find its weight
and its center of gravity in a static parked position". This is done in two steps as follows:
A. Prepare the aircraft to be weighed.
B. Level, weigh and calculate the center of gravity of the aircraft with one of the two
procedures that follow:
− With the landing gear on platform scales
− With the aircraft lifted on jacks and weighed with load cells.

2. Prepare the Aircraft to be Weighed


Prepare the aircraft to have the configuration that follows:
A. Drain the aircraft fuel system.
NOTE: Make sure that the collector tanks also are fully drained.
B. Make sure that:
− The oil and hydraulic systems are full
− The potable water tank and the wash water tank are drained
− The chemical toilet fluid is drained.
C. Make sure that:
− The aircraft interior and exterior are clean and dry
NOTE: If the aircraft is wet or covered with ice or snow, let the aircraft dry.
− The flaps are in the retracted position
− The thrust reversers are in the retracted position
− All the seats are placed in the takeoff position
− The doors and access panels are closed
− Any equipment not related to the aircraft such as tools, work lights, and ground
handling equipment are removed from the aircraft.
D. Put all the flight controls in the neutral position.

3. Weigh the Aircraft on Platform Scales


The equipment and materials that follow are recommended:
− Weighing kit − commercial
− Leveling kit, Part Number G601R082202−1
− Chocks − commercial.

WARNING: MAKE THE AIRCRAFT LEVEL IN A CLOSED HANGAR. IF THE AIRCRAFT IS


MADE LEVEL IN AN OPEN AREA, THE WIND CAN CAUSE INCORRECT
RESULTS. THE STEP TO WEIGH AND CALCULATE THE CENTER OF GRAVITY
OF THE AIRCRAFT CAN ONLY BE ACCURATE IF THE AIRCRAFT IS MADE
LEVEL CORRECTLY. IF THIS IS NOT CORRECTLY MONITORED, THE
AIRCRAFT MAY NOT BE IN A SAFE BALANCED CONDITION FOR TAKEOFF,
FLIGHT AND LANDING.

WARNING: MAKE SURE THAT NO PERSON IS ON OR IN THE AIRCRAFT WHEN YOU


WEIGH IT. THIS WILL PREVENT INJURIES TO PERSONS AND DAMAGE TO
THE AIRCRAFT. PERSONS ON BOARD CAN ALSO GIVE INCORRECT DATA
DURING THIS STEP.
A. Prepare the aircraft as follows (refer to paragraph 2.):
(1) Align the three platform scales and ramps with the main and nose landing gears on
the aircraft.
NOTE: If you use electronic scales, let them warm up, and follow the
manufacturer’s instructions.
(2) Use the equipment checklist and make sure that the aircraft is in its basic
configuration as follows:
(a) Compare the components on the aircraft with those in the checklist.
(b) Write any difference and correct the aircraft weight and center of gravity as
necessary (refer to 02−00−00 in Weight and Balance Report that is applicable
to the tail number of the aircraft).
(3) Place the chocks on the scales and set the scales to zero. Remove the chocks from
the scales.
(4) Roll the aircraft up the ramps and on the scales.

CAUTION: DO NOT CHANGE THE CHOCKS THAT YOU USED ON THE SCALES
WHEN YOU SET THE SCALES TO ZERO. IF YOU CHANGE THE CHOCKS,
YOU MUST PLACE THE NEW CHOCKS ON THE SCALES AND SET THEM
TO ZERO AGAIN.
(5) Put the chocks in front and behind the wheels.
NOTE: Do not set the parking brake.
(6) Open the aft equipment compartment−door.

CAUTION: THE PLUMB BOB MUST HANG APPROXIMATELY 1.27 CM (0.50 IN.) ABOVE

B. Level and weigh the aircraft as follows (refer to Figure 1):

(1) Level the aircraft as follows:


(a) Adjust the oleo or tire pressure until the plumb bob is directly above the center
of the leveling target (refer to AMM 08−20−00 and AMM 12−12−32).
(2) Weigh the aircraft and write the weight data at each platform scale.
(3) Remove the leveling kit and the chocks, and roll the aircraft off the scales and down
the ramps.
(4) Do a visual check of the zero on each of the three channel displays on the platform
scales. If the displays are set to zero, no change to the weight data is necessary. If
the displays do not read zero, change the weight data as follows:
(a) If you read a positive value, subtract it from the weight data written in step
B. (2).
(b) If you read a negative value, add it to the weight data written in step B. (2).
C. Calculate the center of gravity as follows:
− Find the data you need to calculate the center of gravity
− Calculate the center of gravity.
NOTE: Examples of the calculations are found in paragraph 4.
(1) Find the data you need to calculate the XARM (refer to Figure 2):

(a) Read the nose−landing−gear weight from the scale. Write the result as R1.
(b) Read the main−landing−gear weight from each main−landing−gear scale.
NOTE: The left main−landing−gear gives R (left) and the right
main−landing−gear gives R (right).
(c) Add R (left) and R (right). Write the result as R2.
(d) Divide R2 by 2. Write the result as L.
(e) Add R1 and R2. Write the result as W.

CAUTION: MAKE SURE THAT YOU ACCURATELY MEASURE THE DIMENSIONS


B AND D. IF YOU DO NOT DO THIS, YOU MAY GET AN INCORRECT
VALUE.
(f) Measure the distance between the weighing datum point and the
main−landing−gear center line, and write the result as B. Ensure that this
dimension is correctly measured, as its accuracy will affect CG calculations.
Refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4. Use a plumb bob, and drop a line from the
weighing datum point to the ground. Mark this point on the floor with chalk.
Again drop the plumb bob line from each main landing gear wheel centerline to
the surface of the platform scale, and mark these points with chalk. Next, use a
chalk line and connect the two main landing gear centerlines. Now, measure
the distance parallel to the fuselage centerline from the weighing datum point to
the line connecting main landing gear wheel chalk marks. This distance is B".

The equipment and materials that follow are recommended:
− Weighing kit − commercial
− Leveling kit Part Number G601R082202−1
− One 5−ton forward−fuselage jack − commercial
− Two 10−ton wing jacks − commercial
− Jacking pads G601R071001−1.

WARNING: MAKE THE AIRCRAFT LEVEL IN A CLOSED HANGAR. IF THE AIRCRAFT IS


MADE LEVEL IN AN OPEN AREA, THE WIND CAN CAUSE INCORRECT
RESULTS. THE STEP TO WEIGH AND CALCULATE THE CENTER OF GRAVITY
OF THE AIRCRAFT CAN ONLY BE ACCURATE IF THE AIRCRAFT IS MADE
LEVEL CORRECTLY. IF THIS IS NOT CORRECTLY MONITORED, THE
AIRCRAFT MAY NOT BE IN A SAFE BALANCED CONDITION FOR TAKEOFF,
FLIGHT AND LANDING.

WARNING: MAKE SURE THAT NO PERSON IS ON OR IN THE AIRCRAFT WHEN YOU


WEIGH IT. THIS WILL PREVENT INJURIES TO PERSONS AND DAMAGE TO
THE AIRCRAFT. PERSONS ON BOARD CAN ALSO GIVE INCORRECT DATA
DURING THIS STEP.

WARNING: DO NOT SET THE PARKING BRAKE OR CHOCKS AT ANY STAGE OF THE
LIFTING AND/OR LOWERING OF THE AIRCRAFT. IF THE PARKING BRAKE OR
CHOCKS IS SET, THE AIRCRAFT MAY FALL OFF THE JACKS AND CAUSE
INJURIES TO PERSONS AND DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT AND EQUIPMENT.
A. Prepare the aircraft as follows (refer to paragraph 2):
NOTE: Make sure the tail steady is removed.
(1) Prepare the weighing kit for installation and allow it sufficient time to warm up (refer
to the weighing kit manufacturer’s instructions).
(2) Remove the nylon plugs and install the jack pads in the two aft jacking points and
the forward jacking point (the jack pads screw into the fuselage jacking points).
(3) Put the jacks under the aircraft jack pads.

CAUTION: MAKE SURE THAT THERE IS NO SIDE LOAD ON THE LOAD CELLS WHEN
JACKING AIRCRAFT. SIDE LOADS WILL CAUSE INCORRECT READINGS,
CELL FAILURE AND POSSIBLE DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT.
(4) Put the load cells correctly on the jacks and operate jacks manually until load cells
lightly touch jacking pads (refer to Figure 5).
(5) Open the aft equipment−bay compartment−door.

CAUTION: THE PLUMB BOB MUST HANG APPROXIMATELY 1.27 CM (0.50 IN.) ABOVE
THE TARGET. IF THE PLUMB BOB IS SET AT A LARGER DISTANCE, YOU
WILL NOT GET ACCURATE RESULTS.
(6) Attach the screw and the plumb bob from the leveling kit to the bracket at the top of
the frame at FS718.75 and BL8.00 (to the left).

B. Level and weigh the aircraft as follows (refer to Figure 6):


(1) Set the instruments to zero.
NOTE: Make sure that there is no weight on the load cells.
(2) Lift the aircraft (refer to AMM 07−11−01).
NOTE: Make sure that the landing gear is fully extended.
(3) Adjust the jack heights until the plumb bob is directly above the center of the leveling
target (refer to AMM 08−20−00).
(4) Find the value for R1 as follows:
Get the nose−landing−gear weight data from the load cell.
(5) Find the value for R2 as follows:
Get the sum of each main−landing−gear weight data from the load cells.
(6) Find the weight (W) of the aircraft as follows:
Get the sum of R1 and R2.
(7) Lower the aircraft until there is no load on the jacks and load cells.
(8) Do a visual check of the zero on each of the three channel displays. If the displays
are set to zero, no change to the weight data is necessary. If the displays do not
read zero, change the weight data as follows:
(a) If you read a positive value, subtract it from the weight data found in steps B.
(4) and B. (5).
(b) If you read a negative value, add it to the weight data found in steps B. (4) and
B. (5).
(9) Repeat steps 5.B.1 to 8 to make sure your readings are accurate.
(10) Remove the load cells and the jacks from below the aircraft.
C. Calculate the center of gravity as follows:
NOTE: Examples of the calculations are found in paragraph 4.
(1) Calculate the aircraft center of gravity (XARM) with the data found in paragraph B.:
For SI units (R1, R2, and W are in kilograms):
− XARM = (3.81 R1) ) (13.825 R2) ) 78.3
W
Where 78.3 is the Δ moment (kg*m) for the main landing gears displacement from the
fully extended position to the typical "on ground" position.
(2) Convert this value to % MAC:
For SI units (R1, R2 and W are in kilograms and E and F are in meters):

(XARM * 12.542)
AIRCRAFT CG (% MAC) = 100

EXAMPLES AND FORMS − GENERAL

1. General
This section shows examples and forms that are necessary to correctly load and calculate the
weight and center of gravity for the aircraft. The examples include the procedure to write the
data as well as the necessary forms. This section contains the examples that follow:
− Operational loading sheet with 37 passengers
− Dry operating index (DOI) with 29 passengers
− Load and trim sheet with 29 passengers
− Two different operational loading sheets, one with a full load of fuel and the other with a full
load of passengers.
Two copies of the load and trim sheet and of the operational loading sheet must be written for
each flight (refer to 01−90−10).
NOTE: The operational loading sheet is not necessary to write a load and trim sheet.
The usual procedure is to complete and supply the load and trim sheet and the operational
loading sheet to the correct authority. The load and trim sheet and the operational loading
sheet copies are sent as follows:
− Original: in the aircraft
− Copy: to the station trip file.

2. Operational Loading Sheet with 37 Passengers


The operational loading sheet shows the weight build−up from the manufacturer’s weight
empty (MWE) to the maximum ramp weight (refer to 01−90−10).

3. DOI with 29 Passengers


The DOI must be found before you write the load and trim sheet. The DOI is closely related to
the center of gravity of the aircraft. The DOI is calculated with the index and the correction
formulas (refer to 01−90−20).

4. Load and Trim Sheet with 29 Passengers


The load and trim sheet is written to find the weight and the center of gravity of the aircraft as
the loads are divided into the aircraft. The load and trim sheet data is used to verify that the
aircraft is correctly loaded and balanced before takeoff (refer to 01−90−30).

5. Operational Loading Sheets


The operational loading sheets show the weight build−ups and vectors for the full load of fuel
and for the full load of passengers (refer to 01−90−40).

A. Full Load of Fuel


This example shows the build−up and operational loading sheet when a full load of fuel is
put in the aircraft. In this example, the maximum number of passengers is limited to 21.
B. Full Load of Passengers
This example shows the build−up and operational loading sheet with 50 passengers on
the aircraft. When the aircraft has this configuration, only a partial load of fuel can be
used.

WEIGHT BUILDUP (PAYLOAD) − GENERAL

1. General
The weight buildup shows how the various internal loads are added to the manufacturer’s
weight empty (MWE). The result is the ramp weight and center of gravity of the aircraft. This
example shows an aircraft loaded with 37 passengers.
To do the buildup, start with the MWE and add the various operational and payload items.
Add the weight of the baggage, passengers, and the necessary fuel to calculate the ramp
weight.

2. Weight Buildup Sheet


The weight buildup sheet shows the weight, the center of gravity (XARM) and the related
moment (refer to Figure 1).
NOTE: The examples in this section is for illustrative purposes and contain references to the
design weights for the CRJ200 ER. This method is also applicable to the CRJ200
LR. Where applicable the design weights for the CRJ200 LR may be substituted.

DRY OPERATING INDEX − GENERAL

1. General
A. This section shows how the dry operating index (DOI) is calculated with the index formula
and the correction formula. The example shows an aircraft loaded with 29 passengers
and 2 crew members. There is also a form which can be used to calculate your own data.

2. Example of Calculations
A. The example sheet (shown in Figure 2) shows the input items and the results, in bold
italic, that are calculated with the formulas.
B. To calculate the DOI continue as follows:
(1) Identify the data that follows (refer to Figure 2):
− The item
− The weight of the item
− The center of gravity (XARM) of the item
− The formula type.
(2) Calculate the correct DOI formula type for the item. The correct formula must agree
with your use of SI (metric) or Standard (U.S.) units (refer to Figure 1).
(3) Put the result from the formula in the related index/correction column (refer to Figure
2).
(4) Add the weight of all the items and write the result in (12) of the load and trim sheet
(refer to 01−90−30).
(5) Add the index/correction values for all the items and write the result in (64) of the
load and trim sheet (refer to 01−90−30).

LOAD AND TRIM SHEET WITH 29 PASSENGERS − GENERAL

1. General
This section gives the necessary data to complete a load and trim sheet and make an analysis
of the results. The load and trim sheet shows if the aircraft has the correct weight and center
of gravity for safe takeoff, flight, and landing conditions.
The example of the load and trim sheet uses a configuration of 29 passengers (refer to
Figure 4). A load and trim sheet form and a fuel curve stencil are given for you to use for the
CRJ Series 200ER (refer to Figure 2 and Figure 5). The load and trim sheet example and form
and the fuel curve stencil are in metric (SI) units. The data represented by the fuel curve
stencil is given in Figure 3.
For CRJ Series 200 LR refer to Figure 3 and Figure 6.

the MAC. The maximum permitted range for the weights and
center of gravity values are shown by the loading envelope
pattern.

WARNING: MAKE SURE THAT THE STENCIL REFERENCE LINES ON THE


FUEL CURVE STENCIL ARE PARALLEL TO THE REFERENCE
LINES ON THE GRAPH. IF YOU DO NOT DO THIS, YOU CAN
GET AN INCORRECT CURVE. THE ERROR PRODUCED BY
THIS LINE CAN MAKE THE AIRCRAFT NOT SAFE FOR
TAKEOFF, FLIGHT, AND LANDING.
1 Place the lowest point of the opening from the fuel curve stencil where the
horizontal line for ZFW and the DOI vertical line intersect.
2 Start from the intersection point and make a line up to the related fuel load
that is in the aircraft.
NOTE: The point on the curve that indicates the fuel load on the aircraft
is the %MAC at TOW.
3 Write the value of the %MAC at TOW (79).
(19) Make an analysis of the results (refer to paragraph 4).

4. Make an Analysis of the Result

WARNING: ONLY AUTHORIZED PERSONS CAN MAKE AN ANALYSIS OF THE RESULTS


FROM THE LOAD AND TRIM SHEET. AN ERROR IN THE LOAD AND TRIM
SHEET CAN GIVE AN INCORRECT CALCULATED WEIGHT AND CENTER OF
GRAVITY WHICH MAKES THE AIRCRAFT UNSAFE FOR TAKEOFF, FLIGHT, AND
LANDING.
A. Make an analysis of the results as follows:
(1) Make sure that the fuel curve that you traced fits in the limits of the MAC graph
(aircraft weight related to center of gravity (%MAC)) on the load and trim sheet.

WEIGHT AND BALANCE DIAGRAMS − GENERAL

1. General
The aircraft can be fully loaded with passengers or fully loaded with fuel but it cannot have a
full load of passengers and fuel at the same time. The data for the weight and balance
diagrams is different for each of these load conditions.
The two examples that follow show the data for the weight and balance diagrams when either
the quantity of fuel or the number of passengers is at the permitted limit.

2. Weight and Balance Diagram − Full Load of Fuel


NOTE: The examples in this section is for illustrative purposes and contain references to the
design weights for the CRJ200 ER. This method is also applicable to the CRJ200
LR. Where applicable the design weights for the CRJ 200 LR
The maximum number of passengers that can be loaded in the aircraft under these conditions
is 32 passengers.
The weight buildup sheet is used to calculate the weight and center of gravity of all the loads
in the aircraft. To complete the weight buildup sheet, start with the manufacturer’s weight
empty (MWE) and add the various operational and payload items. Add the weight of the
baggages and the necessary fuel to calculate the ramp weight.
NOTE: See the effectivity on the page for applicable aircraft serial numbers.
The weight buildup sheet shows the weight, the center of gravity (XARM), and the moment of
the aircraft (refer to Figure 1). The weight and balance graph shows the vectors related to the
buildup loads (refer to Figure 2).

* Identified as ROW 14 on the aircraft.


The weight buildup sheet is used to calculate the weight and CG of all the loads in the aircraft.
To complete the weight buildup sheet, start with the MWE and add the various operational and
payload items. Add the weight of the baggage and the necessary fuel to calculate the ramp
weight.
The weight buildup sheet shows the weight, center of gravity (XARM), and moment of the
aircraft (refer to Figure 3). The weight and balance graph shows the vectors related to the
buildup loads (refer to Figure 4).
