ASTM-F3082 › Historical Revision Information
Standard Specification for Weights and Centers of Gravity of Aircraft
The following bibliographic material is provided to assist you with your purchasing decision:
This specification covers airworthiness design standards associated with aeroplane flight. The applicant for a design approval shall seek the individual guidance of their respective civil aviation authority (CAA) body concerning the use of this specification as part of a certification plan.
Included in this specification are general requirements for proof of compliance, load distribution limits, weight limits (minimum and maximum weight), empty weight and corresponding center of gravity, and removable ballast.
Scope
1.1 This specification establishes the airworthiness design standards associated with aeroplane flight.
1.2 The applicant for a design approval shall seek the individual guidance of their respective civil aviation authority (CAA) body concerning the use of this specification as part of a certification plan. For information on which CAA regulatory bodies have accepted this specification (in whole or in part) as a means of compliance to their small aircraft airworthiness regulations (hereinafter referred to as “the Rules”), refer to ASTM Committee F44 webpage (www.astm.org/COMMITTEE/F44.htm), which includes CAA website links.
1.3 Units—The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in non-conformance with the standard.
1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
