Calculating the Weight & Balance

Weight & Balance may be used during your pre-ﬂight preparations

to verify the weight and balance conditions for your aircraft. By

entering the weight and arm values on this page, the GPSMAP 495

can calculate the total weight, moment, and center of gravity (CG) to

ensure a safe ﬂight.

Before entering the various ﬁgures, you need to determine the

empty weight of the airplane and the arm (or “station”) for each

weight entered. These ﬁgures should be determined using the pilot’s

operating handbook for your airplane, which also notes the weight

limitations and fore/aft CG limits. Compare those ﬁgures to the

values calculated by the GPSMAP 495.

To perform weight and balance calculations:

1. Press MENU twice to open the Main Menu.

2. Highlight Aircraft from the vertical list of tabs.

3. Press the ROCKER right to highlight Weight & Balance.

Select Kgs, and press ENTER.

7. Highlight the corresponding

ARM ﬁeld, and press ENTER.

8. Use the

ROCKER to enter the arm ﬁgure. Press ENTER.

9. Repeat steps 4 through 8 until all ﬁgures are entered. The

calculated moment, weight, and CG ﬁgures appear at the bottom

of the page. Keep in mind that the “Aircraft” (empty weight/arm)

ﬁgures must be entered as a reference to calculate a valid

moment, weight, and CG.

10. To empty the aircraft, press MENU, select Empty Aircraft, and

press ENTER.

NOTE: This information is only for ﬂight planning purposes.

Consult your aircraft’s pilot handbook for the ofﬁcial weight and

balance data.
