Jeppesen and Atlantic Flight Training have teamed up to produce these top quality ATPL training books with the philosophy of training pilots to fly - not just pass tests. The ATPL books are thorough and comprehensive, yet utilize full color graphics to make complex concepts easy to grasp.

Some topics include:
• Definition and Terminology
• Limits
• Loading
• Centre of Gravity

Mass and Balance covers the factors governing the loading of an aeroplane to ensure that the longitudinal centre of gravity and mass are within the structural and performance limits. This volume has been written to give you a good understanding of the effects of adding or subtracting a mass from an aeroplane, or moving a mass within an aeroplane, through the use of explanation and work examples. It enables you to understand the importance of ensuring that the aeroplane for which you are responsible is correctly loaded and trimmed for flight and ground operations.

The JAR—FCL has adopted the UK CAA Civil Aviation Publication (CAP) 696 for Mass and Balance examination purposes. This volume details three generic aeroplanes, single engine piston aeroplane, a multi-engine piston aeroplane, and medium range twin jet.
