REFLECTOR: Weight and Balance Levelling

[Brian Michalk]

I'm planning on doing my weight and balance this weekend.

I have not brushed up on exactly what needs to be done for the process, 
so I am starting here.

1)  I'm assuming I need to level the plane fore/aft.  What points do I 
use for levelling?  left/right is easy.


2) I plan on measuring with full sump as baseline.  Add fuel in 
increments.  Also do a W&B with pilots.  Of course all interior and 
accessories are installed.  The plane is close to a "flying condition".

3) A buddy is bringing over his Cessna 210, and we're going to use that 
for the fuel, and then return it after we are finished.  I have not yet 
done fuel flow testing, and did not want to mess with a full load of 
fuel in the plane.

Any comments on procedure?
