(d) Mass and Balance
CG:
Center of Gravity, also called 'center of mass'. Imaginary point in which the
airplane mass is assumed to be concentrated for mass and balance
calculations. Its distance from the Datum Plane is equal to the Center of Gravity
Moment Arm.
Center of Gravity Moment Arm:
The Moment Arm which is obtained if one divides the sum of the individual
moments of the airplane by its total mass.
Center of Gravity Limits:
The Center of Gravity range within which the airplane, at a given mass, must
be operated.
DP:
Datum Plane; an imaginary vertical plane from which all horizontal distances
for center of gravity calculations are measured.
Empty Mass:
The mass of the airplane including unusable fuel, all operating consumables
and the maximum quantity of oil.
Maximum Take-off Mass:
The maximum permissible mass for take-off.
Maximum Landing Mass:
The highest mass for landing conditions at the maximum descent velocity. This
condition was used in the strength calculations to determine the landing gear
loads during a particularly hard landing.
Maximum Zero Fuel Mass:
The highest permissible mass with empty fuel tanks.
