Aquila A212 GX weight & balance

Data source

POH FM-AT01-1010-106 Section 2.6 and 2.7 (p. 2-6), Section 6.2-6.4 (pp. 6-4, 6-8, 6-9, 6-11) (pages 22-111 of a212gx-at01-200c__afm__fm-at01-1010-106-200c-dvfr-a03.pdf) · version type

• Seat arms are adjustable: 19.1 in (0.484 m) seat forward, 22.8 in (0.580 m) seat aft. 21 in is the middle position used by the MVP-50P-AQ (Section 6.4.4). Use the actual seat position for pilot and passenger.
• CG limits from Section 2.7: forward 16.8 in (0.427 m), aft 20.6 in (0.523 m) aft of datum, constant at all weights. The CG range chart 6.4.3 (page 6-10) was not among the pages provided.
• The envelope's lower edge (1116 lb) is the sample empty weight, used only to close the polygon. It is not a printed minimum weight.
• Fuel tank total and usable capacity are not printed on these pages. The example uses 26.5 USG (100 L) usable = 159 lb. Unusable fuel is 2.74 USG (10.4 L), included in empty weight. Verify capacity in Section 1/2.
• Fuel density is 6.01 lb/USG as printed (0.72 kg/L).
• Typical empty weight is from the weighing example: 1116 lb, moment 19620 in-lb, giving 17.58 in. Table 6.4.2 shows 'Exp.: 17.3 in (0.440 m)' for the same example, which is inconsistent. Use the actual aircraft weighing report.
• Max baggage is 88.2 lb (40 kg). No maximum per seat or minimum pilot weight is printed on these pages. No maximum zero fuel weight is printed.
• The manual also gives metric values: 750 kg MTOW/MLM, baggage 1.3 m, fuel 0.325 m, seats 0.484/0.580 m.
• Read from the POH by ZuluCheck and checked by a second reading; verify against your own manual.
