08-00-00 LEVELING AND WEIGHING

INTRODUCTION WEIGHING THE AIRCRAFT

This section gives the procedures to level and to weigh the aircraft on the To weigh the aircraft, we can use 2 different methods which are :
Basic Empty Weight (BEW) configuration as specified in the Weight and
Balance Manual. - Aircraft Weighing with Load Cells

CAUTION: - Aircraft Weighing with Ground Scales

1- Make sure that the integrated pitot/static/aoa sensors, tat sensors,

ice detectors and static port have no covers on them before you do the To determine the weight of the aircraft, refer to the procedures given
maintenance procedure. These components Can become hot during the in the AMM 08-10-01. After weighing, lower the aircraft as explained in
maintenance procedure. As a result, Damage to them will occur if you do chapter 07.
not remove the covers.

2- Make sure that the minimum clearance between the landing gear tires

AIRCRAFT LEVELING

Aircraft leveling is necessary before performing weighing operations, since

it permits you to find the accurate centre of gravity of the aircraft. Aircraft
leveling is done by lifting the aircraft until the tires are off the ground,
as described in chapter 07, and installation of the PLUMB - AIRCRAFT
RIGGING kit in the LH main landing gear wheel well.
