AWN 11: WEIGHT & BALANCE CONTROL

Aircraft have a tendency to gain weight because of the accumulation of dirt, grease, corrosion etc., in areas not
readily accessible for washing and cleaning. Aircraft empty weight as well as, its centre of gravity may vary
because of repairs and/or incorporation of modifications, empty weight of the aircraft and centre of gravity is

By a CAAPAK certified person, could be an operations engineer, with B.E & have an experience of 3
years, having appropriate training & prepared at least two schedules. Or by a cat A AME.
Taken moment arms across aircraft C of G datum line [as in TCDS],
If C of G has changed 0.5% of MAC or 0.5% of MTOW, a/c is re-weighed.
aircraft which had previously been registered in another state, weight and balance data,
certified by the Airworthiness Authority of that state will be accepted at the time of issue of Certificate
of Airworthiness in Pakistan.
The aircraft shall be weighed and the empty weight and C. G. Location determined before the issue of a
Certificate of Airworthiness.
Basic weight is the weight of the aircraft and all its basic equipment, plus that of the declared quantity
of unusable oil.
Basic equipment: Basic equipment is the un-consumable fluids, and the equipment which is common
to all roles for which the operator intends to use the aircraft.
Centre of Gravity: (C.G.) is the point about which the aircraft would balance if it were possible to
suspend it at that point. The weight of an aircraft may be assumed to be concentrated at its centre of
gravity.
Centre of Gravity Datum (reference Datum) - is an imaginary plane from which all measurements of
arm are taken.
The datum is specified in the Type Certificate Data Sheet (TCDS), Certificate of Airworthiness or
approved flight manual.
Centre of gravity limits are normally expressed in millimeters forward or aft of the datum but for a
fixed wing aircraft may be a percentage of the mean aerodynamic chord (M.A.C) of the wing.
Centre of Gravity Range - is the distance between the forward and aft centre of gravity limits.
Mean Aerodynamic Chord (M. A. C.) is the average chord of an imaginary wing having the same
aerodynamic characteristics as the actual wing.
Weight, Empty is the measured or calculated weight of an aircraft including all items of fixed
equipment and other equipment that is mandatory for all operations, fixed ballast, unusable fuel,
undrainable oil, total quantity of hydraulic fluid, but excluding all other items of disposable load.
Weight, Maximum Take-off is the maximum weight, according to the Certificate of Airworthiness
or approved flight manual, at which the aircraft is permitted to take-off.
Weight, Maximum Take-off is the maximum weight, according to the Certificate of Airworthiness
or approved flight manual, at which the aircraft is permitted to take-off.
Weight, Operating is, in relation to a particular type of operation, the empty weight of the aircraft
plus those items of removable equipment and disposable load that remain constant for the type of
operation.

AWN#57: REQUIREMENTS FOR INSTALLATION AND MATINTENANCE OF LOCATION

TRANSMITTER (ELT)
1.
2.
3.
All aircraft registered In Pakistan are required to carry an approved, fully operative, emergency
Location transmitter, commonly known as ELT.
ELT is required to comply with latest FAA approved specifications/standards. This notice provides
advice on installation and maintenance requirements of ELT.
ELT must be installed in accordance with an approved E.C.O and by appropriately qualified personnel.

13.
The ELT battery expiration date should be visible without having to remove the ELT from its mount in
the aircraft.
The coaxial cable between the ELT and external antenna (if used) should be sleeved with fire resistant
materials.
The ELT mount must provide a load path from aircraft primary structural elements directly to the
automatic activation system. The attachment should also be designed to minimize vibration so that the
crash force pulse (a low frequency signal) is not masked by local resonance, nor is a false crash signal
generated.
Most present day ELTS use zinc manganese dioxide i.e. alkaline batteries, although some use
magnesium-manganese dioxide batteries also.
ELTS with lithium batteries, therefore, have to be inspected regularly for corrosion (e.g. an
Airworthiness Directive applicable to one model of ELT calls for inspection at Intervals not exceeding
60 days).
After installation tests should be conducted in coordination with the nearest ATS Unit. A VHF receiver
tuned to 121.5 MHZ should be used to monitor the tests.
To ensure that the ELT is not susceptible to inadvertent activation by conducted or radiated
interference the following should be carried out with the ELT armed and monitored on 12 1.5 MHZ.
Carry out operation check of the ELT in accordance with manufacturer's instructions at intervals not
exceeding 500 hours time in service or six months calendar time, whichever is sooner.This check must
include Inspection for battery condition and expiry date with renewal or recharge as necessary.
Periodic inspection of the aircraft carried out prior to issue of a maintenance release.
At two yearly intervals, the ELT must be removed for bench check in accordance with manufacturers
instructions. Such tests should include the impact switch operation and the transmitter output. Testing
should be conducted in a screened room or with the transmitter connected to a dummy load to limit
radiation.
