The "Aircraft Weight and Balance Handbook" (FAA-H-8083-1B - 2016) has been prepared in recognition of the importance of weight and balance technology in conducting safe and efficient flight. The objective of this handbook is twofold: to provide the airframe and powerplant mechanic (A&P) with the method of determining the empty weight and empty weight center of gravity (EWCG) of an aircraft and to furnish the flight crew with information on loading and operating the aircraft to ensure its weight is within the allowable limit and the center of gravity (CG) is within the allowable range.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has published the "Remote Pilot - Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS) Study Guide" (FAA-G-8082-22) to communicate the knowledge areas you need to study to prepare to take the Remote Pilot Certificate with an sUAS rating airman knowledge test.
