Title: Calculate moment problems with varied arms and weights.
Course: Aviation Maintenance Technology II (20114-II) > Section: Explain Aircraft Weight and Balance Procedures

Calculation should be based on the following equations:

Total moment ÷ total weight = CG

and

Weight x Arm = Moment

Calculation also should include the following concepts:

- Add/subtract all weights to calculate total weight
- Add/subtract all moments to calculate total moment

Process/Skill Questions:

- How is moment used to calculate CG?
- What units of measurement are used for moments?
- What is an adverse loading consideration?
- How does one calculate whether adverse loading causes an out-of-limit condition?
- How does one determine proper empty weight configuration?
