On touchscreen, operator enters this weight. The PLC calculates the ballast needed and adjust the longitudinal position of a 100 lb trim weight hydraulically so that when the boat is flooded , the boat will be approximately trim. This is necessary as pilot is forward of the boat CG. I have ballast weights that are color coded and are designed to sit at the longitudinal CG of the boat. Data logger records the operator weight. Predive checklist checks that ballast has been added.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Cliff<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></div><div id="ydp2702e9f4yahoo_quoted_7320261987"><div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica Neue";color:#26282A'>On Wednesday, August 21, 2019, 12:22:09 PM CDT, T Novak via Personal_Submersibles <<a href="mailto:personal_submersibles@psubs.org">personal_submersibles@psubs.org</a>> wrote: <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica Neue";color:#26282A'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica Neue";color:#26282A'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><div id=ydp2702e9f4yiv3313474340><div><div><p class=ydp2702e9f4yiv3313474340msonormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica Neue";color:#26282A'>From my weight and balance experience flying Air Cadets we always weigh the individuals as they stand all up, including any backpacks, cameras, and water bottles. Most people only have a vague idea how much they weigh, and the reality is that their weight changes daily, throughout the day, and depending on what they are wearing and carrying. During the PLRP I noticed that Nuytco had a bathroom scale on the crane barge and the DW2000 pilots were weighed each time they got into the sub. External weights were then added or removed as necessary.</span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica Neue";color:#26282A'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=ydp2702e9f4yiv3313474340msonormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica Neue";color:#26282A'> </span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica Neue";color:#26282A'><o:p></o:p></span></p><div id=ydp2702e9f4yiv3313474340yqt34088><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0cm 0cm 0cm'><p class=ydp2702e9f4yiv3313474340msonormal><b><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica Neue";color:#26282A'>From:</span></b><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica Neue";color:#26282A'> Personal_Submersibles <a href="mailto:[mailto:personal_submersibles-bounces@psubs.org]">[mailto:personal_submersibles-bounces@psubs.org]</a> <b>On Behalf Of </b>hank pronk via Personal_Submersibles<br><b>Sent:</b> Wednesday, August 21, 2019 7:11 AM<br><b>To:</b> Personal Submersibles General Discussion <<a href="mailto:personal_submersibles@psubs.org">personal_submersibles@psubs.org</a>><br><b>Subject:</b> [PSUBS-MAILIST] weights</span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica Neue";color:#26282A'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=ydp2702e9f4yiv3313474340msonormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica Neue";color:#26282A'> <o:p></o:p></span></p><div><div><p class=ydp2702e9f4yiv3313474340msonormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica Neue";color:#26282A'>Hi All,<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=ydp2702e9f4yiv3313474340msonormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica Neue";color:#26282A'>When David and I were swapping out passengers in Gamma, the weights were getting off.
