A good example of the detail needed -- in what notch were the seats?
What was in the pockets in the seats? Was the towbar in the plane and
exactly where was it? Did you have any control locks installed? Where
were they? How much did they weigh? Everything that is not a permanent
non-moveable part needs to be identified and measured. This would be
a good time to make sure that everything that is installed is documented.
No extra stuff like mounts for portable GPS's, handheld radios, or
headsets.

Seats were full forward as indicated in the service manual. Towbar, and
POH were in the plan. Stripped everything out.

Obviously, it is much cleaner to do a weight and balance with NO loose
stuff in the plane and absolutely empty tanks.

Not so sure that is true. Some must me empty, others can be calculated
if full. At least that's what the director of maint said.

I found out that the nose wheel has a -0.7 arm and the mains have a
+58.0

I think I have everything now. As you all said though, I have to list all
the equipment as weighed.
