EXAMPLE: Find fuel moment for 340 lb fuel:
1. Enter chart at 340 lb on fuel weight scale. From that point, move to right along the 340 lb line until
reaching the fuel weight CG curve. Now move down to the longitudinal CG scale to find the fuel station (CG) of approximately 97.10
−
in.
2. Multiply 97.10
−
in (station) by 340 lb (fuel weight) to arrive at 33,014 in
