FAA-H-8083-1, AIRCRAFT WEIGHT AND BALANCE HANDBOOK (1999)., FAA-H-8083-1, Aircraft Weight and Balance Handbook, has been prepared in recognition of the importance of weight and balance technology in conducting safe and efficient flight. The objective of this handbook is twofold: to provide the Aviation Maintenance Technician (AMT) with the method of determining the empty weight and empty-weight center of gravity (EWCG) of an aircraft, and to furnish the flight crew with information on loading and operating the aircraft to ensure its weight is within the allowable limit and the center of gravity (CG) is within the allowable range. This handbook supersedes Advisory Circular (AC) 91-23A, Pilot’s Weight and Balance Handbook, revised in 1977.
