METEOROLOGICAL TERMINOLOGY

OAT Outside Air Temperature is the free air static

temperature. It may be expressed in either degrees
Celsius or deg re es Fahre nh ei t.

Standard
Temperature Standard Temperature is 15°C at sea level pressure

altitude and decreases by 2°C for each 1000 feet of
altitude.

Pressure
Altitude Pressure Altitude is the altitude read from an altimeter

when the altimeter's barometric scale has been set to

29.92 inches o f mercury (1013 mb).

ENGINE POWER TERMINOLOGY

BHP Brake Horsepower is the power developed by the

engine.
RPM Revolutions Per Mi nute is engine speed.
Static

RPM Static RPM is engine speed attain ed durin g a full thr ottle

engine runup when the airplane is on the ground and
stationary.

MP Manifold Pressure is a pressure measured in the

engine's indu ction system and is expr essed in inches of
mercury (in.hg.).

Lean
Mixture Decreased proportion of fuel in the fuel-air mixture

supplied to the engine. As air density decreases, the
amount of fuel required by the engine decreases for a
given throttle setting. Adjusting the fuel-air mixture to
provide a smaller portion of fuel is known as "leaning" the
mixture.

Rich
Mixture Increased proportion of fuel in the fuel-air mixture

supplied to the engine. As air density increases, the
amount of fuel required by the engine increases for a
given throttle setting. Adjusting the fuel-air mixture to
provide a greater portion of fuel is known as "richening"
the mixture.

WEIGHT AND BALANCE TERMINOLOGY

Reference
Datum Reference Datum is an imag inary vertica l plane fr om

which all horizontal distances are measured for
balance pur po ses.

Station Station is a location along the airplane fuselage given

in terms of the distance from the reference datum.

Arm Arm is the horizontal distance from the reference

datum to the center of gravity (C.G.) of an item.

Moment Moment is the product of the weight of an item

multipli ed by its arm. (M omen t divide d by the co nstant
1000 is used in this POH to simplify balance
calculations by reducing the number of digits.)

Center of
Gravity (C.G.) Center of Gravity is the point at which an a irplane, or

equipment, would balance if suspended. Its distance
from the refer enc e datum is foun d by divid ing the total
moment by the total weight of the airplane.

C.G. Arm Center of Gravity Arm is the arm obtain ed by add ing

the airplane's individual moments and dividing the sum
by the total weight.

C.G. Limits Center of Gravity Limits are the extreme center of

gravity locations within which the airplane must be
operated at a given weight.

Standard
Empty Weight Standard Empty Weight is the weight of a standard

airplane, including unusable fuel, full operating fluids
and full engi ne oil .
