24. Chapter 9 – Weight and Balance FAA – Pilot’s Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge

25. Today’s Mission Requirements • Mission: • Describe the importance of weight and balance on an aircraft. • Describe what role center of gravity can have on safe flight. • EQ: Describe the importance of Aeronautical Knowledge for the student pilot learning to fly.

26. Introduction • Weight and balance is significant for safe flight • The three Axis of flight converge on the center of gravity. • The location of center of gravity can greatly effect safe for flight operations.

27. Chapter Summary • The goal of every pilot is a safe flight; center of gravity and the importance to properly balance an aircraft can mean the difference between life and death.
