##### Element Performance Inspection (EPI) Data Collection Tool

**1.3.17 Weight and Balance Program (AW)**

# 

# ELEMENT SUMMARY INFORMATION

**Purpose of this Element** (certificate holder's responsibility):

+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
| -   To ensure the aircraft weight and center of gravity are           |
|     accurately calculated and current records are maintained.         |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+

**Objective** (FAA oversight):

+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
| -   To determine the effectiveness of the certificate holder s        |
|     procedures in meeting the desired output of the process.          |
|                                                                       |
| -   To determine if the certificate holder follows its procedures,    |
|     controls, process measurements and interfaces for the Weight and  |
|     Balance Program.                                                  |
|                                                                       |
| -   To determine if there were any changes in the personnel           |
|     identified by the certificate holder as having responsibility     |
|     and/or authority for the Weight and Balance Program.              |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+

**Specific Instructions**:

+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
| -   To accomplish this EPI, the inspector shall ensure the            |
|     certificate holder follows its policies and procedures for Weight |
|     and Balance. The inspector shall ensure the certificate holder    |
|     maintains Weight and Balance records, and provides flight crew    |
|     with proper Weight and Balance information.                       |
