Title: Calculate changes in empty weight and empty weight CG after aircraft modifications.
Course: Aviation Maintenance Technology II (20114-II) > Section: Explain Aircraft Weight and Balance Procedures

Calculation should include

- the CG formula
- accounting for changes to empty weight
- adding, removing, and relocating equipment, radios, fuel tanks, seats, and other components.

Changes to empty weight produce changes in total weight and moment of the aircraft, and this will result in a change in the CG. There is a range that is provided by the aircraft manufacturer, and the aircraft must stay within this range to function properly and safely.

Process/Skill Questions:

- When should CG be recalculated?
- How can shifting weight change the moment and CG of an aircraft?
