Step by step, this video presentation shows you what weight & balance is, why it is so important, how to calculate the numbers for your homebuilt, and what documentation is required for your inspection process -- the paperwork that has to be carried in your plane at all times! Completing a homebuilt requires you to calculate and document the weight & balance figures for your plane and present them to the inspector...and for many homebuilders this task is confusing and complicated -- however, this video makes this task simple and easy to understand. This DVD is specifically designed to teach the experimental aircraft homebuilder who is not comfortable with weight & balance concepts how to perform the required weight & balance calculations for their aircraft. The video makes it easy for you to understand the concepts required to perform your own weight and balance analysis on your aircraft and then document the findings for the inspection process. The video begins by presenting the big picture of the importance of weight & balance for safe aircraft flight, and then progresses through each step using video 'chapters' with detailed explanations. More experienced builders can skip through the chapters to find the information they need. The weight & balance worksheets that are required for your inspection process are displayed on screen, and the instructor explains what they mean and how to fill them out. |
