On this page we've placed some basic guidance for doing weight and balance calculations for our airplane.
Before you rely on this data, make sure you check it against the airplane's official weight and balance data. You can find official weight and balance data in the original POH in the baggage compartment, in the maintenance log book, or in the tachometer log book.
This page was last revised: June 14, 2005, for Garmin radios.
If you have Microsoft Excel, you might want to try this N7645F weight and balance spreadsheet from David Zillic. Be sure to check the spreadsheet for correct basic empty weights and moments before you rely on it.
