Calculate the Tecnam P2008 JC 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.

Tecnam P2008 JC takeoff and landing distance
BriefingPal result from the POH charts at MTOW, no wind, dry paved runway, normal procedure, default flap setting, without safety factor. Use the calculator above for your mass, airfield, temperature and wind.
| Conditions | Takeoff ground roll | Takeoff over 50 ft | Landing over 50 ft | Landing ground roll |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sea level, 15 °C | 190 m (630 ft) | 350 m (1,150 ft) | 365 m (1,200 ft) | 155 m (510 ft) |
| 5,000 ft, 25 °C (density altitude ≈ 7,300 ft) | 325 m (1,060 ft) | 580 m (1,910 ft) | – | – |
Hot and high, the Tecnam P2008 JC needs about 66 % more distance to clear 50 ft than at sea level. Calculate density altitude →

How to do the Tecnam P2008 JC 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 Tecnam P2008 JC. 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.

Tecnam P2008 JC – frequently asked questions
What is the MTOW of the Tecnam P2008 JC?
The maximum takeoff mass of the Tecnam P2008 JC is 650 kg (1,433 lb) according to the POH.
How much usable fuel does the Tecnam P2008 JC carry?
31.7 US gal (120 L) usable (total capacity 32.8 US gal (124 L)). With the typical POH empty mass and full fuel, about 175 kg (385 lb) remain for people and baggage.
How long is the takeoff distance of the Tecnam P2008 JC?
At MTOW, sea level, 15 °C and no wind the ground roll is about 190 m (630 ft) and the distance over 50 ft about 350 m (1,150 ft). At 5,000 ft and 25 °C it grows to about 580 m (1,910 ft). The calculator above gives the value for your conditions.
How do I calculate the CG of the Tecnam P2008 JC?
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 Tecnam P2008 JC POH (front seats, baggage compartment, fuel) and checks the CG against the envelope.
How does the Tecnam P2008 JC differ from other Tecnam P2008 models?
BriefingPal has 3 Tecnam P2008 models on file. Compared with them the Tecnam P2008 JC has the highest MTOW (650 kg (1,433 lb)), 31.7 US gal (120 L) usable fuel and a takeoff distance over 50 ft of 350 m (1,150 ft) at MTOW.
Is the Tecnam P2008 JC weight and balance calculator free?
Yes. The calculator on this page and the BriefingPal app are free and need no account. The app adds route planning, weather, NOTAM, fuel planning and a briefing PDF.
Data source
All figures come from the Pilot's Operating Handbook / Airplane Flight Manual of the Tecnam P2008 JC (weight and balance and performance sections) and are computed with the BriefingPal engine – the same calculation as in the app. Planning aid only; the original POH/AFM and the weighing report of your aircraft remain authoritative.
