(27)
Reference
24.
Determine
the
ESTIMATED LANDING CONDITION by subtracting the
weights and moments of Reference 22 from Reference
21 and adding reference 23.
(28)
Reference 25. Enter the ESTIMATED
LANDING C.G. as determined from the weight and
simplified moment values of reference 24.
(29)
The weight value from Reference 24 must
be compared with the allowable GROSS WEIGHT
LANDING as shown in the LIMITATIONS table to
ensure
compatibility.
Use
the
Reference
24
ESTIMATED LANDING CONDITION gross weight to
determine the PERMISSIBLE C.G. LANDING forward
and aft c.g. limits from the -10 operator's manual or
Chart E loading data. If the ESTIMATED LANDING
C.G. LANDING limits, enter them in the space provided
in the LIMITATIONS table.
(30)
When
the
ESTIMATED
LANDING
CONDITION of Reference 24 and/or the ESTIMATED
LANDING C.G. of Reference 25 are not within
permissible landing weight and/or c.g. limits, changes in
the amount of distribution of load and/or fuel are
required. A new Form F will be completed.
(31)
Enter signature of person computing the
form in COMPUTED BY SIGNATURE
NOTE
If local requirements exist for the use of the
WEIGHT
AND
BALANCE
AUTHORITY
SIGNATURE block the Commander will
establish policies and procedures.
b. Tactical.
(1)
Insert necessary identifying information at
top of form.
(2)
Reference 1. Enter aircraft basic weight
and
moment/constant
(or
index).
Obtain
this
information from last entry on Chart C.
NOTE
If a load adjuster is used in loading the
aircraft, enter opposite Reference I the index
figure obtained from Chart C and use index
figures throughout the form. Enter plate
number of load
adjuster 4-16 Change 2 (located on the left
end of base) on the Form F. If Chart E or -10
operator manual data are used instead of a
load adjuster, enter moment/constant values
throughout the form.
(3)
Reference 2. Leave blank (oil is included
in basic weight).
(4)
Reference 3. This section takes into
account all nonexpendable items not in the basic weight
(and not otherwise accounted for). Using the same
compartment letter designation as shown on Chart E
(aircraft diagram) or on load adjuster enter item
description, weight and moment for crew, baggage,
cargo, emergency equipment, racks, etc.
(5)
Reference 4. Enter sum of weights and
moments for Reference 1 through Reference 3 to obtain
OPERATING WEIGHT.
(6)
Reference 5. Enter by compartment the
item description (type, number of rounds), weight and
moment of all ammunition.
(7)
Reference 6. Enter item description,
weight and moment of all other expandable ordnance
such as bombs and rockets.
(8)
Reference 7. Enter number of gallons,
weight and moment of fuel. If auxiliary fuel is carried.
make appropriate entries in space provided.
(9)
Reference 8. Enter item description
weight and moment of miscellaneous variables (such as
water injection fluid).
(10)
Reference 9. Enter sum of weights and
moments for reference 4 through reference 8 opposite
TAKEOFF CONDITION (Uncorrected).
(11)
Reference 10. Enter TAKEOFF C.G.
(Uncorrected) as determined from weight and moment
values of reference 9.
(12)
Enter the allowable GROSS WEIGHT
TAKEOFF and GROSS WEIGHT LANDING in the
LIMITATIONS table at the lower left-hand corner of the
Form F. These data are found in the 10 operator's
manual and also in the Chart E loading data.
(13)
The weight value from reference 9 must
be compared with the allowable GROSS WEIGHT
TAKEOFF as shown in the LIMITATIONS table
