Weight and Balance Manual

A Weight and Balance Manual is a guide used in aviation to ensure an aircraft is properly loaded for safe flight. It details how much weight is on board and where it is positioned, including passengers, cargo, and fuel. Proper weight distribution maintains the aircraft's stability, maneuverability, and safety. The manual provides procedures and calculations to verify that the total weight and its placement stay within safe limits set by the manufacturer. This helps prevent issues like excessive stress on the aircraft structure or loss of control during flight.
