(Continued)
A properly loaded airplane, however, will perform as intended. Before
the airplane is licensed, a basic empty weight, center of gravity
(C.G.)
and movement are computed. Specific information regarding the
weight, arm, moment, and installed equipment for this airplane as
delivered from the factory can be found in the plastic envelope in the
1
back of this Pilot's Operating Handbook. Using the basic empty weight
and moment, the pilot can determine the weight and moment for the
loaded airplane by computing the total weight and moment and then
determining whether they are within the approved Center of Gravity
Moment envelope
