Calculate the Beechcraft B24R Sierra 200 weight, CG and takeoff distance
Your own empty mass (weighing report, optional)
The POH has no standard empty moment for this model – enter the empty mass CG from your weighing report to get the CG.
Leave empty to use the typical POH empty mass. Your aircraft's weighing report is what counts.
Calculated on the BriefingPal server from the POH data. Nothing is stored, no cookie. Planning aid only – the POH/AFM and your weighing report are authoritative.

How to do the Beechcraft B24R Sierra 200 weight and balance
- Enter the loadingWeights of pilot, passengers and baggage per station, fuel in litres or US gallons. Each station limit and the MTOW are checked.
- Use your own empty massOptional: enter empty mass and empty CG from the weighing report of your Beechcraft B24R Sierra 200. Without it the typical POH empty mass is used.
- Check CG and massThe traffic light shows whether the takeoff mass and the CG with and without fuel lie within the envelope of the POH.
- Takeoff and landingElevation, QNH, temperature, wind and runway give the takeoff and landing distance – compared with the runway length if you enter it.

How much usable fuel does the Beechcraft B24R Sierra 200 carry?
52.2 US gal (198 L) usable (total capacity 59.8 US gal (226 L)). With the typical POH empty mass and full fuel, about 325 kg (717 lb) remain for people and baggage.
How long is the takeoff distance of the Beechcraft B24R Sierra 200?
At MTOW, sea level, 15 °C and no wind the ground roll is about 355 m (1,170 ft) and the distance over 50 ft about 550 m (1,800 ft). At 5,000 ft and 25 °C it grows to about 995 m (3,260 ft). The calculator above gives the value for your conditions.
How do I calculate the CG of the Beechcraft B24R Sierra 200?
Multiply each mass by its arm, add up the moments and divide by the total mass – the calculator above does this with the stations of the Beechcraft B24R Sierra 200 POH (seat row 1, seat row 2, baggage compartment, seat row 3, fuel) and checks the CG against the envelope.
How does the Beechcraft B24R Sierra 200 differ from other Beechcraft Sierra models?
BriefingPal has 2 Beechcraft Sierra models on file. Compared with them the Beechcraft B24R Sierra 200 has an MTOW of 1,247 kg (2,750 lb) (range 1,247–1,247 kg), 52.2 US gal (198 L) usable fuel and a takeoff distance over 50 ft of 550 m (1,800 ft) at MTOW.
Is the Beechcraft B24R Sierra 200 weight and balance calculator free?
