PURPOSE.
The data to be inserted on weight and balance
charts and forms are applicable only to the individual

page of the booklet entitled WEIGHT AND BALANCE
DATA supplied by the aircraft manufacturer and on the
various forms and charts which remain with the aircraft.
The charts and forms referred to in this chapter may
differ in nomenclature and arrangement from time to
time, but the principle on which they are based will not
change.

The aircraft manufacturer inserts all aircraft
identifying data on the title page of the booklet entitled
WEIGHT AND BALANCE DATA and on the various
charts and forms. All charts, including one sample
Weight and Balance Clearance Form F, if applicable,
are completed at time of delivery. This record is the
basic weight and balance data of the aircraft at delivery.
All subsequent changes in weight and balance are
compiled by the weight and balance technician.

CHART C BASIC WEIGHT AND BALANCE
RECORD, DD FORM 365-3.
Chart C is a continuous history of the basic weight

changes made in service. At all times, the last weight
and moment/100 entry is considered the current weight
and balance status of the basic aircraft.
