Where can i find EASA rules fore performing an new weight @balanse on a GA aircraft?
Hi Peter,
There are a couple of documents I would recommend:
1. UK CAA CAP 696 - it has procedures and examples for all types of aircraft including Single engine and multi-engine piston aircraft https://publicapps.caa.co.uk/docs/33/CAP696.pdf
2. In terms of EASA regulation, you can find the requirements for M&B on Air Ops (Regulation (EU) 965/2012 on air operations) Annex IV CAT.POLMAB (Section 3, Chapter I)
3. The UK Light Aircraft Association has a pretty good guide and online calculator available here http://www.lightaircraftassociation.co.uk/engineering/Weight%20and%20ba…
4. And finally, you can find some youtube videos on M&B for ATPL exams that explain the matter quite well. e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ue2UCmMclcY&list=PLthUARlELoUX6p2zteVHg…
Hope this helps!
Regards and stay safe!
Peter,
the aircraft specific procedure should be outlined in the Flightmanual of the plane in question.
For a GA aircraft usually Annex VII (Part-NCO) of Air Ops applies. Point NCO.POL.105 Weighing, the related GM1 NCO.POL.105 provides the details to determine whether a new weighing is due.
I recommend to use the easy access (eRule):
