C.G.
Limits Center of Gravity Limits are the extreme center of
gravity locations within which the airplane must be
operated at a given weight.
MAC
MAC (Mean Aerodynamic Chord) of a wing is the chord
of an imaginary airfoil which throughout the flight range
will have the same force vectors as those of the wing.
Maximum
Maximum Landing Weight is the maximum Landing
Landing
weight approved for the landing touchdown.
Weight
Maximum Maximum Ramp Weight is the maximum weight
Ramp approved for ground maneuver, and includes the weight
Weight of fuel used for start, taxi and
runup.
Maximum Maximum Takeoff Weight is the maximum weight
Takeoff approved for the start of the takeoff roll.
Weight
Moment Moment is the product of the weight of an item multiplied
by its arm. (Moment divided by the constant 1000 is used
in this handbook to simplify balance calculations by
reducing the number of digits.)
Reference Reference Datum is an imaginary vertical plane 100
Datum inches forward of the front face of the firewall.
Residual Residual Fuel is the fuel remaining when the airplane is
Fuel defueled in a specific attitude by the normal means and
procedures specified for draining the tanks.
Scale
Drifl Scale Drift may occur on some types of electronic scales
because of the inability of the scale to return to a true zero
reading after
welyn~ng. If presenr, tnis dev at on from zero
snould be accounted for when
calculat~nq the net weight

of the airplane.
Standard
Standard Empty Weight is the weight of a standard
Empty
airplane, including unusable fuel, full operating fluids and
Weight full engine oil.
Station Station is a location along the airplane fuselage given in
terms of the distance from the reference datum.
