BALANCE MANUAL

INTRODUCTION
The Weight and Balance Manual provides instructions referring to the
weighting and loading of the EMBRAER 190 airplane models.
The instructions and data herein presented are approved by the
airworthiness authority to comply with the applicable regulations.
The basic empty weight value obtained during the airplane weighing
procedures should be used as point of departure for each loading
operation.
Based on the presented information, the operator can determine
airplane weight and CG at any time of flight.

WEIGHT AND CENTER OF GRAVITY LIMITS

To comply with the performance and operating limitations of the
regulations, the maximum allowable takeoff and landing operational
weights may be equal to, but not greater than design limits.
Refer to AFM Section 2, Limitations, for further information.

MOMENT/CG CHANGES (EMBRAER 190 MODELS)

DUE TO ANY PASSENGER OR CREW MEMBER INFLIGHT

MOVEMENT
A person moving from the front to the rear of the cabin or vice-versa
causes the following CG travel:
− For 66140 lb (low weights): CG moves aft or forward in a
maximum range of 1.6% of MAC.
− For 90385 lb (intermediate weights): CG moves aft or forward in
a maximum range of 1.1% of MAC.
− For 112434 lb (high weights): CG moves aft or forward in a
maximum range of 0.9 % of MAC.
DUE TO LANDING GEAR CONFIGURATION
When the landing gear is retracted, there is a moment reduction in
respect to the airplane datum.
− For 66140 lb: CG moves forward 0.4% of MAC (most critical
case).
DUE TO FUEL CONSUMPTION AND DENSITY VARIATION
TEMPERATURE
The fuel CG variation in relation to consumption is shown in the Fuel
Distribution Table.
The variation of fuel density with temperature has negligible effects in
the airplane CG.

BALANCE REFERENCE SYSTEM

(EMBRAER 190 MODELS)

BALANCE ARMS/BODY STATION

Longitudinal location of the Centers of Gravity (CG) identified
throughout this manual regarding airplane and components will be
referred to as Balance Arms. Balance Arms are the distance in inches
from Airplane Datum, which is located at the zero station of the
fuselage.
Balance Arms (BA) are equivalent to Body Station (BS) on the
EMBRAER 190.

AIRPLANE DATUM
The Airplane Datum is a plane, perpendicular to the fuselage
centerline, located at 568.82 in ahead of the wing stub’s front spar.
For external reference, the Datum is located at 570.35 in ahead of the
wing jack points.

WING MEAN AERODYNAMIC CHORD (MAC)

For the EMBRAER 190 models:
MAC length = 144.96 in.
Leading Edge MAC balance arm (LEMAC) = 625.83 in.
Percentage of MAC is obtained using the following formula:

( B. A. − 625.83) ×100
% MAC =
144.96
Where B.A. = Balance arm of airplane CG measured in inches.

WEIGHING COMPUTATION (EMBRAER 190

MODELS)
The OEW (Operational Empty Weight) is the BEW (Basic Empty
Weight) plus the weight of operational items (crew, catering, lavatory
fluid, etc.). The OEI (Operational Empty Index) is the index for the
OEW. In order to determine the OEW and OEI, it is necessary to add
to the BEW all the weight and moment variations referent to the
operational items. The BEW is obtained from the aircraft weighting
record.
Example: Computation of OEW/OEI for the EMBRAER 190.
For a BEW equal 57579.59 lb and BEW moment equal 37997916.63 lb.in:

- Potable water is stored in a potable water tank. Tank
capacity may vary between 35, 70, 90 and 110 liters. The

BAGGAGE WEIGHT AND LOCATION
The baggage weight limits, location and the respective balance arm
may be obtained from the applicable interior arrangement.
The data shown enclosed are applicable to the airplane’s Standard
Configuration. For other interior configuration options, the weight
limits, location and the respective balance arm are supplied together
with the “Airplane Weighing Form”, inserted in the “FINAL
INSPECTION REPORT”.

CARRY-ON BAGGAGE
Carry-on volumes may be stowed in the overhead bins and in the
wardrobe closet. There is no specific requirement for underseat carry-
on volumes; however a maximum of 20 lb is allowable, provided the
volume is properly restrained to avoid sliding.

BAGGAGE COMPARTMENT
Whenever possible, baggage should be distributed between both
compartments, taking into account CG position.

The baggage should be evenly distributed in each compartment to

avoid load concentration.

Baggage/Cargo must not become a hazard to the airplane structure or

systems as a result of shifting under operational loads. Therefore,
sharp edge volumes (like wooden or metal containers) and/or dense
cargo (objects significantly more dense than typical passenger
baggage) must be arranged with adjacent soft volumes or protections
thus preventing aircraft damage in case of baggage/cargo shifting due
to operational loads.
