AMT 285 - Aircraft Weight and Balance

Institution:

Columbus State Community College

Subject:

Description:

Changes to equipment and the accumulation of debris while an aircraft is in service can result in compromising changes to its weight and balance. If the weight of an aircraft or the distribution of weight is not held to stringent boundaries, the safety of the aircraft, and perhaps its ability to take off, is compromised. In this course, there will be an in depth look at aircraft and helicopter weight and balance. Students will study the principles of computing weight and balance, computing and correction of adverse load conditions, and the basics of computing weight and balance for transport category aircraft. Procedures for weighing aircraft and documentation of weight and balance data are emphasized.
