2.8. CENTER OF GRAVITY
The reference datum (RD) for the center of gravity (CG) calculation is tangent to the leading edge of the
wing at the root rib. This plane is vertical when the fuselage is horizontal. Procedures for horizontal
alignment, as well as particulars with regard to the empty weight center of gravity, refer to Chapter 6.

WARNING
Exceeding the center of gravity limitations reduces the maneuverability and stability of
the airplane.
The procedure used to determine the center of gravity is described in Chapter 6.
