INITIAL WEIGHT AND BALANCE FOR STANDARD, ELITE AND XL VELOCITY
See Velocity Owner's Flight Manual (Below is from "Standard and 173 Fixed and RG Aircraft)
Caution:  User is responsible for verifying all data points, measurements, calculations and results.
Step 1: | Remove all loose items and clean aircraft. No fuel, but engine oil level normal. [NAME] should be level.
 | All coolant, brake fluid, constant speed prop oil should be full. Speed brake up if applicable. Turn prop for best ground clearance
 | Set canard & wing incidence at 0 degrees. Check side-side level at main wing spar and average readings.
Step 2: | Use plumb line to establish datum point (Nose) and rigging points, canard leading and trailing edges,
 | strake-fuselage intersections leading edge, strake-wing intersection leading edge, forward and aft wingtips,
 | inside of winglet, winglet trailing edge at top, wing trailing edge at cowl intersection, prop centerline, spinner centerline.
 | (Note: This step is optional and is NOT required for establishing Weight and Balance.)

 |  |  |  |  |  |  | Prop Centerline
 |  |  |  |  |  |  | Spinner Centerline
Step 3: | [NAME] point on ground for all axle centerlines, record distances below.
 | Carefully lift aircraft and install scale pads under each gear. Recheck level and record weights below.
 | "0" |  | 30.75 |  |  | 131.85 |  | 131.85
 |  |  | 99 |  |  | 689 |  | 687
 |  |  | Weight (lbs) |  | Arm (inches) |  | Moment (in-lbs.)
 | Nose Gear:
 | Right Main
 | Left Main
 | Total Empty Weight
 | Empty C.G. Distance in inches
Step 4: | Pilot moment arm calculation. Have a person of known weight sit in the pilots seat
 | adjusted to normal flight position, and record new weights from scales.
 | "0" |  | 30.75 |  |  | 131.85 |  | 131.85
 |  |  | 114 |  |  | 700 |  | 689
 | Test Pilot Weight |  | 29
 |  |  | Weight (lbs) |  | Arm (inches) |  | Moment (in-lbs.)
 | Nose Gear:

 | Left Main
 | Total Weight
 | Test Pilot Weight |  | 29
 | C.G. w/Test Pilot
Step 5: | Passenger moment arm calculation. Have a person of known weight sit in the rear seat and record new weights from scales.
 | "0" |  | 30.75 |  |  | 131.85 |  | 131.85
 |  |  | 102 |  |  | 706 |  | 695

Step 6: | [NAME] moment arm calculation. Fill header tank with gasoline and record new weights from scales.
 | "0" |  | 30.75 |  |  | 131.85 |  | 131.85
 |  |  | 100 |  |  | 708 |  | 695

 | Total Weight
 | [NAME]
 | C.G.
Step 7: | Main Tank moment arm calculation. Fill Main Tank with 15 gallons of gasoline and record new weights from scales (1st Part)
 | Step 7 will calculate the arm for full fuel - average the arms in steps 7 & 8 to produce an average arm for fuel.
 | "0" |  | 30.75 |  |  | 131.85 |  | 131.85
 |  |  | 108 |  |  | 739 |  | 741

Step 8: | Main Tank moment arm calculation. (2nd Part)
 | Fill fuel tanks to capacity. Average the arms in steps 7 & 8 to produce an average arm for fuel.
 | "0" |  | 30.75 |  |  | 131.85 |  | 131.85
 |  |  | 134.24 |  |  | 840.7 |  | 891.9
 | Number of Gallons |  | 60

Step 9: | Calculation of Baggage - Wing Strake Arm
 | For the Wing Strake area, measure the distance from the nose to the middle of the baggage area and record here:
 |  |  |  |  | Arm (inches)
 | Baggage |  |  |  | 105
Step 10: | Calculation of Nose Ballast Arm
 | Measure the distance from the nose to the point you plan to carry your ballast weight:
 |  |  |  |  | Arm (inches)
 | Ballast |  |  |  | 30
Step 11: | Calculation of Weight and Balance
 | Now you should know all of the arms required to Calculate Your Total Weight and CG
