The overloading of aircraft or operating outside the COG limits is a major factor in a number of flying accidents each year many of which are fatal You are well advised to check a couple of sample calculations produced by this calculator against the same weight and balance calculations using the aircraft flight manual to both check that your aircrafts data has been correctly entered and that the results are accurate Finally remember if you think that you might be out of limits then you probably are If you have a full fuel load full passenger load and baggage then really you should be checking and double checking this particular aspect of flight safety very carefully Use the weight and balance facility provided in AviatorCalc as a basic check only YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED NOT FOR USE WITH ROTARY WING AIRCRAFT The AviatorCalc weight and balance routines only carry out longitudinal Weight and Balance It does not calculate lateral Weight and Balance required for rotary wing aircraft The Weight and Balance function of AviatorCalc has never been tested with rotary wing aircraft and therefore may not be used for this type of aircraft AviatorCalc User Guide Version 3 6 Date 19 May 2011 Page 113 AVIATORCALC Entering data into the Aircraft limits database Open the Aircraft Database program and select Aircraft details Figure 91 Entering data into the Aircraft details database Delete database Activation Code Select Aircraft d
