Airbus B3E Weight And Balance Program

[fan]

Hello everyone,

Just wondering if anyone has an Airbus B3e weight and balance for the computer ? it is relatively new but just tought i'd ask anyway. Thank you

As far as I know, there's no change to the W&B charts for the B3e from the B3...

The B3 DH actually but correct Skidz. The increased gross weight is the only difference between the B3 and the DH and "e" regarding weight and balance.

There are many single hydraulic B3e's in the world and thus the w & b is identical to all single hydraulic B3's. I think there is even one in Canada.

There's your answer fan, find out how many hydraulic systems there are on your ship and proceed accordingly.

 

Fly safe.

Since the weight and balance envelope gets narrower as the gross weight increases, the for and aft limits also differ between single and dual hydraulic B3's. I've seen a few spreadsheets for DH machines where the maker simply increased the max gross weight and forgot to change the Forward and AFT limits...

Have you checked with Gary or Richard at Airbus Helicopter in Ft. Erie?

Have you checked with Gary or Richard at Airbus Helicopters in Ft. Erie ?We did a calculation after doing the new original empty W and B, prior to the test flts.

Thanks for the input, our machine does have dual hydrolics
