1. Find Basic Empty Weight from A/C data
2. Fill in weight of passengers and baggage
3. Total weight
4. Figure weight of fuel in each tank / ONE GALLON OF FUEL WEIGHS 6 LBS.
5. Total weight with fuel
6. Find arm of helicopter in A/C date (longitudinal CG)
7. Multiply Weight x Arm to find A/C moment (longitudinal moment in A/C data)
8. Find arm of passengers and baggage in POH p. 6-6 (see note and compare serial number in A/C data)
9. Multiply Weight x Arm to find moment of passengers and baggage
10. Total moments
11. Divide moment by weight to find CG zero fuel
12. Find arms of fuels in POH p. 6-6
13. Multiply Weights x Arms to find moment in fuels
14. Total moments
15. Divide total moment by total weight to find A/C CG full fuel

Lateral
16. Find lateral arm of helicopter from A/C data (lateral CG)
17. Multiply Weight x Arm to find A/C moment (lateral moment in A/C data)
18. Find arms of right and left seats from POH p. 6-6
19. Multiply Weights x Arms to find moments of right and left seats
20. Total moments
21. Divide total moments by total weight to find A/C CG zero fuel
22. Find arms of fuels from POH p. 6-6
23. Multiply Weights x Arms to find moments of fuels
24. Total moments
25. Divide total moment by total weight to find A/C CG full fuel
26. Graph in POH p. 2-6.1

A/C = Aircraft
POH = Pilot's Operating Handbook
CG = Center of Gravity

Weight x Arm = Moment

Moment / Weight = CG

Basic Empty Weight includes oil and unusable fuel
