Pending verification:
- Peso vacío y brazo de la aeronave individual (obligatorio: W&B Report propio)
- Brazos de asientos y combustible tomados solo del AFM (copia no controlada): verificar con el AFM de su número de serie
- MTOW 650 kg (1433 lbs) con MOD 2008/027, 2008/045 o 2008/086 no modelado: este perfil usa 630 kg
- Combustible: la conversión por volumen de la app usa densidad AVGAS (6.0 lb/gal); con MOGAS el peso real es algo mayor
- Brazo de equipaje: AFM 2.417 m vs TCDS 2.42 m (diferencia 0.12")
Empty weight and arm differ for every airframe: use the values from your aircraft's weight and balance report (you can add them as a custom aircraft in the calculator).
Frequently asked questions
How is the Tecnam P2008 JC weight and balance calculated?
Multiply each station's weight by its arm to get its moment, add up weights and moments (including the empty weight) and divide the total moment by the total weight to get the CG. The Tecnam P2008 JC is within limits when the weight does not exceed the maximum and the weight/CG point lies inside the envelope.
What is the maximum weight of the Tecnam P2008 JC?
The reference maximum takeoff weight of the Tecnam P2008 JC is 1,388 lbs (630 kg), per TCDS# EASA.A.583 Issue 14 (EASA). Always confirm it in your aircraft's POH/AFM.
What are the CG limits of the Tecnam P2008 JC?
The Tecnam P2008 JC CG must be between 72.49" (forward limit) and 77.87" (aft limit) aft of datum. The effective limit depends on weight: the envelope on this page shows its full shape.
Can I use this calculator for my Tecnam P2008 JC?
Yes, as a reference. Every Tecnam P2008 JC has its own empty weight and arm depending on its equipment: enter them from its weight and balance report as a custom aircraft. The POH/AFM is always the official reference.
