WBcalc intentionally does not prefill a generic empty weight or empty CG for this page. Those values vary by individual aircraft and equipment configuration. Use the current certified weight and balance record for the airplane being loaded.
Primary source: FAA Type Certificate Data Sheet 3A13. This page represents FAA TCDS 3A13, Model 182B normal category.
Aircraft modifications, supplements, different serial-number configurations, floats, STCs or other approved changes can alter applicable limits. Confirm the data against the documents for the individual aircraft before flight.
