‘The lateral CG datum is the aircraft centreline with items to the right postitive and items to the left negative.’
On all the R22s I’ve ever flown, the empty lateral CofG had been on the centreline ie the lateral arm has been zero.

Hi all,
I am new to the forum and would like to say hi to everyone. The forum seems to have a vast wealth of knowledge and I hope to learn more as I progress.
I do have a question about the R22 mass and balance. My apologies if it’s been asked before I did search but maybe I over looked the answer.
My my question is this: what is the arm for lateral mass and balance ?
In in the tech log I have access to then longitudinal arm/moment is calculated for that specific helicopter but there is no mention of lateral arm.
If if anyone could shed some light on this I’d really appreciate it.
Thanks again 👍

should I have?????
Hmm? I've never seen one that was zero? Most of the one's I've flown were negative, but its the handful that were positive I had to pay more attention to, as with them my calculated cg flying solo would be over the line requiring me to put balast under the passenger seat.

For a R22 Beta II the lateral arm is as follows:
PIC Seat (& baggage compartment) 10.7
PAX seat (& baggage compartment) -9.3
Multiply the weights of each person/baggage and you have your lateral moments

Those are not the lareral arm of the empty helicopter, only the arms of the seats. You'll need more info if you want a proper weight and balance calculation.

Hey folks - looking for a UK/Ireland based R22 for dry lease for 3-6 months this year ideally (once restrictions are lifted). If anyone would like to discuss or has any leads please PM me!.
Thanks
