Where can one typically find the aircraft's weight and balance information?

The aircraft's weight and balance information is typically found in the Pilot’s Operating Handbook (POH). The POH is a crucial document provided by the manufacturer, containing detailed specifications and operational data for the aircraft, including the maximum allowable weights, center of gravity limits, and the procedures for calculating weight and balance.

This information is essential for pilots as it allows them to ensure that the aircraft is loaded within its safety limits, which directly affects safety, performance, and handling characteristics during flight. Understanding how to interpret and apply the weight and balance data from the POH helps in making informed decisions about fuel, cargo, and passenger load management.

The other options do not provide the specific and relevant weight and balance information required for flight planning and safety. The maintenance manual primarily covers maintenance procedures and requirements, the airworthiness certificate confirms the aircraft's compliance with safety standards but does not include operational data, and the flight logbook records the aircraft's flight history but does not contain weight and balance details.
