W&b.bmp (235758 bytes) FAA-H-8083-1, the first revision on this topic since 1977. A primary reference for all FAA exams. This book covers weight and balance in detail for pilots, flight engineers, and AMTs at all levels.

It takes you step by step through the proper procedures to weigh large and aircraft, determine moment arms, and then the simple math required to compute the precise location of CG in various configurations, including at various fuel levels. It is highly illustrated, complex enough to be meaningfull, yet simple enough to be understood.
