Cessna 182E weight and balance
Cessna 182E weight and balance calculations must use the loading limits and current basic empty weight and moment or arm for the individual airplane.
The model-level 2,800 lb maximum takeoff weight and standard fuel capacity do not replace the approved weight and balance records for a specific aircraft.
Use the applicable owner's manual, approved supplements, equipment records and current weight and balance data for the individual airplane.
