Weight and Balance Revision Record

Weight and Balance Revision Record

Aircraft manufacturers use different formats for their
weight and balance data, but Figure 5-2 is typical of a
weight and balance revision record. All weight and balance
records should be kept with the other aircraft records.
Each revision record should be identified by the date, the
aircraft make, model, and serial number. The pages should
be signed by the person making the revision and his or her
certificate type and number must be included.
The computations for a weight and balance revision are
included on a weight and balance revision form. The
date those computations were made is shown in the
upper right-hand corner of Figure 5-2. When this work is
superseded, a notation must be made on the new weight
and balance revision form, including a statement that these
computations supersede the computations dated “XX/XX/
XX.”
Appropriate fore-and-aft extreme loading conditions
should be investigated and the computations shown.
The weight and balance revision sheet should clearly
show the revised empty weight, empty weight arm and/or
moment index, and the new useful load.
