Limiting Speed: VNE = 118 knots Do not exceed this speed in any event!
Limiting Wind Speeds: Maximum Allowable Crosswind Speed (i.e. 90 degrees to the
direction of the flight)...............12 knots
Do not try to take off or land with a tail-wind except for emergencies!

How to Determine the Aircraft’s Centre of Gravity
Position
Place the aircraft with its wheels onto three scales. The aircraft must be in the cruise position, i.e. with its
fuselage axis levelled horizontally.
Determine the total weight of the aircraft (G) in kilograms as a sum of the weight readouts from the scales
located under the main wheels (G
h
) which is the total of the weight readouts from the scales located under the
left and right main wheels/ and the weight readout from the scales located under the nose wheel (G
p
).
Measure the distance between the main undercarriage axis and the nose wheel axis (L
p
) in millimetres.
Measure the distance of the wing leading edge (using a plummet) from the main undercarriage axis (L
a
) in
millimetres.
