the relevant center of gravity, the weighing record also states the empty weight with
standard equipment installation. The MTOW as defined by the certification
regulations and the maximum weight of the aircraft as defined for structural proofs
are used to calculate the maximum permissible payload and the maximum payload in
the fuselage. A diagram in the weighing form gives information about the position of
the empty weight center of gravity. The aircraft is designed to make it impossible for
the permissible center of gravity to be exceeded when the aircraft has been loaded
within the limits set down in this handbook and the empty weight is within the
specified range. If necessary, trim ballast weight should be installed.
The weighing record is only valid in connection with the current equipment list. Any
changes to the aircraft must be appropriately registered. It is also possible that
national regulations require weighing to be carried out at specified intervals or after
specified work on the aircraft. It is the responsibility of the owner to conform to such
national requirements.
The aircraft is operated in different countries under different certification regulations.
There is also a wide variety of options available for the aircraft, some of which may
not be installed in some countries. A variety of these options can also lead to an
increase in aircraft empty weight which exceeds that set down in the certification
regulations of some countries. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure that
national regulations concerning aircraft specification and operation are followed.
