To determine the aircraft's CG location and to verify that the CG lies within the
predetermined CG travel range, it would be helpful to use the chart in the fol-
lowing page. Chart reports CG location as a function of the empty weight mo-
ment with respect to the datum as yielded by weighing report.

In order to use the graph it is necessary to know the value of the moment arm
(empty weight conditions) with respect to the datum. Once this value is found on
the abscissa, a parallel to the oblique lines is drawn until it intersects the ordinate
relative to the weight of pilot and passenger. From this point, a new line is drawn
horizontally up to the graph limit-value of 200 kg and, from here, a parallel to
the oblique lines is drawn until it intersects with the abscissa relative to fuel
weight carried on board. A horizontal line is then drawn through this point up to
the graph limit-value of 100 liters and a new parallel to the oblique lines is
drawn until abscissa is intercepted relative to baggage loaded on board behind
the seats. Another horizontal line is drawn and it is thus possible to verify that
the intersection of this segment with the vertical abscissa relative to the aircraft's
takeoff total weight falls within the shaded area which represents the admissible
CG range as a function of total weight.
Other charts show the CG travel as a function of aircraft weight, distances in me-
ters of pilots and baggage from datum (propeller support flange) is also pro-
vided.
“Weight & Balance and C.G. Travel” chartsare valid for each
MTOW: 580 kg, 600 kg (if Supplement A11 Increased MTOW
@600kg is applicable) and 620 kg (if Supplement A12 Increased
MTOW @620kg is applicable).
