Aircraft Weight Principles
1. Basic Weight
2. Operating Weight
3. Zero Fuel Weight

T.O. 1-1B-50 Weight and Balance
Which TO provides information and instructions for maintaining the charts and forms (DD Form 365 series or electronic equivalent) that provide the means for maintaining continuous record and control of aircraft weight and balance?
Weight Limits
Which term is a combination of performacne, control, and structural restrictions. Exceeding these limits can result in loss of acft and is expressly forbidden?
Aircraft Weight
Which term is a combination of actual weighing, accurate record keeping, and proper use of the acft specific manuals, charts, forms, and loading manuals?
Century of Gravity (CG)
Which term is defined by the most forward and aft permissible CG locations and are called forward and aft CG limits, respectively.
Balance
Is a condition of stability, which exists in a acft when all weights and forces are acting in such a way as to prevent rotation.
Balance Arm
The term at which a number of weights could be concentrated to produce the same effect as they produced when separated.
Simplified Moment
A moment divided by an established constant such as 10, 100, 1000, 10,000, or 100,000.
Arm
Is the distance of the CG of an item from a reference datum.
Moment
A measure of a tendency to rotate an object due to a force applied at a particular point on the object. In acft weight and balance, this term of an item is the weight (force) of the item multiplied by its balance arm.
Load Adjuster Index
A number that represents moment on the acft load adjuster and, in conjunction with acft weight or index formula, permits CG calculations
DD Form 365
Record of Weight and Balance Personnel. A continuous record of weight and balance personnel responsible for the correctness and maintenance of an aircraft's weight and balance handbook.
DD Form 365-1, Chart A
Basic Weight Checklist Record.
The first is to provide a definition of what is included in
Basic Weight for a particular aircraft. The second is to
provide weight and balance data for items that may be
removed from or added to the Basic Weight of the aircraft.
DD Form 365-2, Form B
Aircraft Weighing Record.
Form B is to record the data obtained from an actual aircraft weighing. This form also provides the necessary instructions for computing the current weight, moment and center of gravity (CG) of the aircraft.
DD Form 365-3, Chart C
Basic Weight and Balance Record.
a continuous and permanent history of the aircraft Basic Weight, moment, and CG. Any required change to the aircraft Basic Weight and/or Moment shall be recorded on the Chart C. The last line of the Chart C (aircraft Basic Weight, moment, and CG) is the most current data and the baseline for all subsequent loading calculations on Forms
Acft Weighing Requirements
A) As req by pertinent service directives or technical directives
B) In accordance w/weighing reqs specified in applicable acft loading manual, operators manual or Chart E
C) After completion of selected depot level events as defined by appropriate Service Engineering Organization.

TO 00-20-1 Aerospace Equipment Maintenance Inspection, Documentation, Policies, and Procedures
Technical Order (TO) establishes the policies and procedures for use of 00-20-series TOs and provides weapon system and equipment maintenance inspection and documentation guidance. It also implements the policies of AFMCI 21-100, AFI 11-301V1, and AFI 21-102.
Inspection Intervals
Air Force aerospace vehicle inspections are prescribed in applicable Mission Design Series (MDS) specific -6 TO maintenance manuals, item technical orders, inspection workcards, checklists, commercial manuals or depot engineering data.
Basic Post-Flight (BPO)
• More thorough than PR or TH
• After the last flight or flying period
Combined Pre-flight/Basic Post Flight Inspection
PR/BPO consolidates the reqs of the PR and BPO insps into a single insp accomplished at the end of the specified flying period or prior to the first flight of the next specified flying period
Periodic Insp
This insp is due upon accrual of the number of flying hours, operating hours, or at the expiration of a calender period specified in the applicable MDS specific -6 TO. More extensive in scope than the HPO or BPO insp s as the insp is a thorough insp of the entire aerospace vehicle.
Quick Turn Insp
An abbreviated thru-flight insp authorized by MDS specific -6 TOs.
Thru-Flight Insp
Between flights insps and will be accomplished after each flight, when a turnaround sortie or continuation flight is scheduled and a BPO insp is not req. [Show Less]
