Purpose and Procedure for Drafting the Document
What is an Aircraft Weight and Balance Report?
An aircraft weight and balance report documents the calculated total weight and center of gravity (CG) position of an aircraft for a specific flight. It includes basic empty weight, crew, fuel, payload, and verifies that weight and CG are within limits.
Why Use This Template?
This online template provides a structured format for recording weight components and calculating total weight and CG. It helps ensure accurate documentation for flight planning and regulatory compliance.
Key Features
The template includes fields for report information, weight calculation (basic empty weight, crew, fuel, payload, total, max takeoff weight, status), balance calculation (CG position, limits, status), remarks, and signatures.
Pre-Flight Planning
Pilots and dispatchers use weight and balance reports before every flight to ensure the aircraft is loaded within limits. This is critical for safety and performance.
Charter and Cargo Operations
Charter and cargo operators must calculate weight and balance for each flight, especially when carrying variable payloads. This template helps standardize the process.
Flight School Training
Student pilots learn to compute weight and balance as part of flight planning. This template can be used as a training aid.
Regulatory Compliance
Aviation authorities require weight and balance documentation for certain operations. This report provides a clear record of compliance.
Aircraft Performance Analysis
Operators may use weight and balance data to analyze performance and optimize loading for efficiency.
- 1
Open the Template
Open the Aircraft Weight and Balance Report template in the online editor.
- 2
Enter Report Information
Fill in the report date, aircraft registration, flight number (if applicable), and preparer name.
- 3
Calculate Weight
Enter the basic empty weight, crew weight, fuel weight, and payload weight. The total weight is calculated automatically. Compare with max takeoff weight and select weight status.
- 4
Calculate Balance
Enter the calculated CG position and CG limits. Select balance status (within limits or out of limits).
- 5
Add Remarks and Sign
Add any remarks about the weight and balance status. Finally, add signatures of the preparer and reviewer.
Photo Report Generator

Frequently Asked Questions about Photo Reports and Photo Tables
What is the difference between basic empty weight and total weight?
Basic empty weight is the weight of the aircraft including standard equipment, unusable fuel, and full operating fluids. Total weight is basic empty weight plus crew, fuel, and payload.
How is the center of gravity (CG) calculated?
CG position is calculated based on the weight and arm (distance from datum) of each loaded item. The template allows you to enter the calculated CG position and compare it with the allowable CG limits.
Can this template be used for any aircraft?
Yes, the template is generic and can be used for any aircraft. You need to know the aircraft's basic empty weight, max takeoff weight, and CG limits from the aircraft's weight and balance manual.
What if the weight or CG is out of limits?
If weight exceeds max takeoff weight or CG is out of limits, the flight cannot proceed until the load is adjusted. The template records the status and allows remarks.
Do I need to attach photos to this report?
Photos are not required for weight and balance reports. The template focuses on numerical calculations and signatures.
