This document provides a sample airplane loading problem to calculate takeoff weight and moment. It lists components that contribute to the airplane's weight and moment, including basic empty weight, usable fuel, passengers, and baggage. It then calculates the ramp weight and moment, subtracts fuel for engine start and taxi, and determines the takeoff weight and moment. Finally, it checks that the takeoff weight and moment point falls within the center of gravity moment envelope, meaning the loading is acceptable.

LOADING PROBLEM Weight (lbs.) (lb. -ins. /1000) Weight (ibs.) (lb. ins. /1000) 1. Basic Empty Weight (Use the data pertaining to your airplane as it is presently equipped. Includes unusable fuel and full oil). 1592 56.7
2. Usable Fuel (At 6 Lbs./Gal.)
Standard Tanks (49 Gal. Maximum) 294 14.1
Long Range Tanks (66 Gal. Maximum)
Reduced Fuel (50 Gal.). .
3. 3. Pilot and Front Passenger (Station 34 to 46) 340 12.6
4. Rear Passengers 170 12.4
5. Baggage Area 1 or Passenger on Child's Seat (Baggage, Station 82 to 108 200 Lbs. Max.; Passenger on Child's Seat 120 Lbs. Max.) 162 15.4
6. Baggage Area 2 (Station 108 to 142 50 Lbs. Max.).. .
7. RAMP WEIGHT AND MOMENT 2558 111.2
8. Fuel allowance for engine start, taxi, and runup -8 - .4
9. TAKEOFF WEIGHT AND MOMENT
(Subtract Step 8 from Step 7) 2550 110.8 10. Locate this point (2550 at 110.8) on the Center of Gravity Moment Envelope, and since this point falls within the envelope, the loading is acceptable.
