I would be interested by way of a comparison to anyone who has quck(ish) access to their weighing schedule for a C172 - preferably a C172M.

I am trying to determine a sensible distribution of weight on each of the three wheels rather than the absolute total weight of the aircraft.

Not after a weight and balance - just the raw data from the weighing scales results.

TIA

Our c172P when last reweighed after radio/nav changed Oct 15

Nose wheel 469 lbs
Mains 671 lbs and 668 lbs

total 1835 lbs less fuel 300lbs = 1535 lbs aircraft weight

Any use?

Thankyou - yes I think the P has a higher basic empty weight and higher MAUW than the M, but your numbers help me see the aprox %age split between mains and nose wheel.

It is actually quite surprising the different scale measurements you can get if you don't get the flying attitude level datum correct.

Thanks - FJ

My former club owned two C172Ms:
Empty weight 1480.9, CG 39.2
Empty weight 1460.56, CG 40.38
