Loading Graph information for the pilot, passengers, baggage,
cargo, and hatshelf is based on seats positioned for average
occupants and baggage / cargo or hatshelf items loaded in the
center of these areas as shown on the Loading Arrangements
diagram. For loadings which may differ from these, the Sample
Loading Problem lists fuselage stations for these items to indicate
their forward and aft c.g. range limitation (seat travel and
baggage / cargo or hatshelf area limitation. Additional moment
calculations, based on the actual weight and c.g. arm (fuselage
station) of the item being loaded, must be made if the position of
the load is different from that shown on the Loading Graph. A
reduced fuel weight may be measured for use with heavy cabin
loadings by filling both tanks to the 22 gallon marker for 43
gallons (258 pounds) usable. Both tanks may be filled for
maximum range, provided gross weight is not exceeded.
balance records, and are included in the aircraft file. In addition to the
licensed empty weight and moment noted on these records, the c.g. arm
(fuselage station) is also shown, but need not be used on the Sample
loading Problem. The moment which is shown must be divided by 1,000
and this value used as the moment/1000 on the loading problem.
