6.7 Center of Gravity Range and Determination
The following procedure must be used to calculate the inflight CG.
1. moment calculation
moment (lb-inch) = weight (lb) x station (inch)

empty weight ____ ____ ____
occupants ____ 8.3 ____
Baggage ____ 37.4 ____
fuel ____ 37.8 ____

2. center of gravity
center of gravity (inch) =
moment total (lb-inch)
weight total (lb)
front limit of CG 9.6 in
aft limit of CG 16.3 in
NOTE
Calculate CG for the entire planned flight. Calculate CG
with fuel at take-off and for landing.
NOTE
Occupants on board shift CG significantly. When filling
up the fuel tank, the airplane may tilt on its tail skid. This
is acceptable as long as the inflight CG is within limits.
WARNING
Never fly with an inflight c.g. outside the permitted
envelope!
