Thank you for stopping by our website. We Are On-Site Weight and Balance. What we do is weight aircraft around the state of Florida. Some of the people we serve are: aircraft owners, Repair Facilities, Fixed Base Operators, Avionic Shops, Aircraft Paint shops, Aircraft Interior Shops, Fleet Maintenance coordinators and Experimental Homebuilt aircraft builders. Here are some quick facts about weighing aircraft. to keep things simple the term aircraft includes single engine, twin engine, corporate jet, commuter jet and helicopters.
The FAA mandates that any aircraft used for hire must be weighed every two years and the center of gravity is calculated.
The FAA mandates that any Experimental Homebuilt aircraft upon completion must be weighed and the center of gravity by calculated before the final inspection and first flight.
The FAA mandates that any General Aviation FAR part 91 aircraft must have the center of gravity calculated after a major repair or alteration. This includes changes in equipment and avionics. There is more than one way to do this but a very easy and accurate way to accomplish this would be to reweigh the aircraft.
So…..if you are building an Experimental Homebuilt aircraft you could break out the bathroom scales but in the professional aviation would that just will not work. What does work well are digital, calibrated, certified, wireless scales and load cells. These scales are costly to purchase, maintain, calibrate and certify. This would be where On-Site Weight and Balance steps in. We deploy to your location with state of the art Jackson Aircraft Scales and get the job done. When we leave you will have, in your hand a computer generated weight and balance report. If needed we can make the necessary log book entries. This is a cost effective, easy, accurate way to get the job done and aircraft in the air.
