Aircraft weight and balance management is a critical airworthiness function that is not always paid the attention it deserves. This can lead to problems, particularly as an aircraft fleet ages and the impact of modifications and an expanded range of loading configurations may create the
potential for weight and CofG limit violations. In such circumstances it is crucial that the fleet operator has an accurate and reliable system for continuously tracking the weight and CofG position of each aircraft in the fleet.

QinetiQ Novare can assist aircraft fleet operators by evaluating the effectiveness of existing aircraft weight and balance management systems, and by developing new or enhanced tools, procedures and documentation for effectively tracking aircraft weight and balance.
