INC 60246 Aircraft Weight-Balance Computer

An electronic computer designed to determine the actual weight and center of gravity position of various aircraft when used with electronic scales. It computes the estimated landing weight and center of gravity position. It is adaptable for use as a component of a COMPUTER-PLANNER, AIRCRAFT LOAD in planning cargo loadings to desired center of gravity positions when used with or without scales.

Additional Information for Aircraft Weight-Balance Computer

An Aircraft Weight-Balance Computer is a device used in aviation to calculate and maintain the proper weight and balance of an aircraft. It is classified under the supply class Scales And Balances, which includes various instruments used for measuring weight and balance.

The Weight-Balance Computer is specifically designed for aircraft and is used to determine the distribution of weight within the aircraft. It takes into account factors such as the weight of passengers, cargo, fuel, and other equipment on board. By accurately calculating the weight and balance, the computer helps ensure that the aircraft is within its safe operating limits.

The Weight-Balance Computer is an essential tool for pilots and aircraft operators as it helps them make informed decisions regarding loading and distribution of weight. It helps prevent situations where the aircraft becomes unbalanced, which can affect its performance and safety.

In summary, an Aircraft Weight-Balance Computer is a specialized instrument used in aviation to calculate and maintain the proper weight and balance of an aircraft. It falls under the supply class Scales And Balances in the supply group Instruments And Laboratory Equipment.
