Weight and Balance重量与平衡
Weight and balance is the process and documentation used to verify that an aircraft is loaded within certificated mass and center-of-gravity limits, covering empty weight, crew, passengers, fuel, cargo, and any removable equipment. In aviation technical publications, the term appears in loading schedules, flight manuals, preflight documentation, and maintenance records to ensure stability, control, and structural safety for each flight operation.

Where this term appears
In localization, weight and balance appears in flight operations manuals, load planning software, aircraft maintenance logs, preflight checklists, and loadmaster training courses. Translators often handle forms where numerical fields, units, and sign conventions must remain consistent. Errors in translated labels or instructions can lead to data entry mistakes that affect the calculated center of gravity.
Translation checks
A common error is translating weight and balance as "重量与平衡性" or treating it as a general phrase about aircraft equilibrium rather than a specific load control process. Some translations also confuse balance with "配平" or "trim." This can obscure procedural instructions and cause incorrect loading calculations, especially when instructions distinguish balance from trim systems.
Keep the term aligned across your files
Check procedure sequence, part names, limits and cautions against the supplied references. Applicable aviation or market requirements depend on the product and project pathway.
Provide approved terms and previous translations with the source files. Agree how variants, ambiguous wording and revisions will be reviewed. Terminology maintenance and any termbase handback are confirmed in the project scope. See the 8-step AI + expert workflow.
