About This Event
This 5-day workshop covers the fundamental principles of weight and balance and focuses on the Boeing passenger aircraft fleet. This workshop includes principles that are required to attend the follow-on courses "WB2 - Weight and Balance Introduction to Loading Schedule Design" and " WB3 - Weight and Balance Freighter Aircraft Considerations”. This workshop begins with the basics of how to calculate moments and centers of gravity, plus a review of weight and center of gravity definitions and limitations. It continues with discussion about the meaning and use of the information published in Chapters 1 and 2 of the Boeing Weight and Balance Manuals, airplane weighing regulations and procedures, and calculation of an aircraft’s basic empty weight, dry operating weight, and takeoff weight. The final day of the workshop introduces loading schedules and their use.
