To ensure that the unmanned aircraft center of gravity (CG) limits are not exceeded, follow the aircraft's
APilot's Operating Handbook or UAS Flight Manual.✓
BAeronautical Information Manual.
CFAA Weight and Balance Handbook.
Why →The Pilot's Operating Handbook (POH) or UAS Flight Manual contains the specific weight and balance data, CG envelope, and loading instructions for that particular aircraft. The AIM is a general operational reference for airspace rules. The Weight and Balance Handbook is a general training document, not aircraft-specific.
Field note →Most consumer drones don't come with a traditional POH, but the manufacturer's quick-start guide or app will specify max payload, battery weight, and any CG guidance.
