My A&P did this for me after installing my JPI 900 (without asking, but he told me if I didn't like the results we wouldn't log it). Turns out there was a calculation error, they forgot to subtract the weight when they pulled some avionics back in the 90's and I gained about 5 lbs of useful load. I know it normally goes the other way, but it will give you the actual number instead of just continuing to add rounding errors. Plenty of folks have screwed up weighing procedures and miscalculated both empty weight and CG. Quote
N201MKTurbo Posted April 8 Report Posted April 8 Just make sure they log the scale weights. everything else can be recalculated. If it isn't level, it can change the CG a little, but not the empty weight. 1 Quote
