speciic Type/Model/Series aircraft to better facilitate compliance with weight and balance requirements. In
addition, the Sample Basic Weight Checklists and Loading Data manuals serve as the baseline for updating
individual aircraft Weight and Balance Handbooks.
6.2 Acquisition requirement . Acquisition documents must specify the following:
a. Title, number, and date of this document.
b. Charts A and E, as approved by the acquiring activity engineering personnel (see 3.1).
d. If illustrations of the Chart A item locations are to be other than as speciied in this
document (see 3.3.1.3).
e. The weighing intervals to be included (see 3.4.1.3).
f. If Chart E additions or deletions are to be made (see 3.4.1.3).
g. If representative aircraft are within + percent MAC CG and + pounds (see igure 5).
h.
Address of logistics center assigned maintenance engineering responsibility for the speciic
j. Packaging requirements (see 5.1).

6.4 Deinitions. To clarify the terms used throughout this speciication, the following deinitions are given:
6.4.1 Veriication. Veriication (section 4) in the context of this speciication equates to the contractor s
quality assurance program for validating the content of the manuals. Suggested validation methods include:
a. Actual performance. Using production conigured equipment, hands-on performance of the
procedure using the technical instructions as written.
b. Simulation. Using production conigured equipment and the manual, simulate the actions
required by the task steps.
c. Table top analysis. Primarily for nonprocedural data, compare the technical content to source
data to ensure the technical accuracy and depth of coverage.
6.4.2 Mean aerodynamic chord . An engineering term which represents an airfoil s chord in aircraft design. It
is a constant length which is used in the calculation of center of gravity locations in terms of percent of MAC.
6.5 Aircraft weight and balance classiication. Aircraft weight and balance classiications (Class 1 and
Class 2 aircraft) are deined in TO 1-1B-50 and SAWE-RP7,
6.6 Charts A and E. Chart A is the DD Form 365-1, Basic Weight Checklist Record. Chart E is not a
standard form, but may be any of the graphs, charts, or tables that are contained in TO 1X-XXXX-
5-2 that provides loading data.
6.7 Technical manual. The requirement for technical manuals should be considered when this speciication
is applied on a contract. If technical manuals are required, speciications and standards that have been
authorized and assigned an Acquisition Management Systems Control (AMSC) number must be listed on a
