Course Objectives: | Aim of this course is to prepare the students for the procedures of loading of the aircraft. At the end of the course students should understand the importance of the balance factor in loading the aircraft, learn the basic principles, make the required calculations, and finally fill the load manifests and load & trim sheets. |
Course Content: | Mass and balance theory, factors affecting mass and balance in aircraft, mass definitions and limits, aircraft weighing, floor loading, load shifting, load addition, load subtraction, mean aerodynamic chord, JAR-Ops1 requirements, loading manifests, load & trim sheets |
