CENTER OF GRAVITY PRECAUTIONS
Since the airplane can be used for cargo missions, carrying various
types of cargo in a variety of loading configurations, precautions must
be taken to protect the forward and
aft C.G. limits. Load planning should
include a careful comparison of the mission reauirements with the
volume and weight limitation in each loading zone and rhe final a rplane
C.G
Cargo loaded in the forward zones may need to be balanced by
loading cargo in one or more aft zones. Conversely, loadings can not
be concentrated in the rear of the airplane, but must be compensated
by forward cargo to maintain balance. Under ideal conditions, loadings
should be accomplished with heavy items on the bottom and the load
distributed uniformly around the C.G. of the cabin cargo area zone
and1
or cargo pod compartment. Loading personnel must maintain strict
accountability for loading correctly and accurately, but may not always
be able to achieve and ideal loading. A means of protecting the C.G. aft
limit is provided by supplying an aft
C.G location warning area between
38.33% MAC and the maximum allowable aft C.G. of 40.33% MAC.
The warning area is indicated by shading on the C.G. Moment
Envelope (Figure 6-17) and C.G. Limits (Figure 6-18). This shaded
area should be used only
if
accurate C.G determination can be
obtained.
CAUTION
EXERCISE CAUTION WHILE LOADING OR UNLOADING
HEAVY CARGO THROUGH THE CARGO DOORS. AN
IDEAL LOADING IN EVERY OTHER RESPECT CAN
STILL CAUSE
TAIL TIPPING AND STRUCTURAL
DAMAGE IF PROPER WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION IS
IGNORED. FOR EXAMPLE, HEAVY CARGO LOADED
TROUGH THE DOORS AND PLACED MOMENTARILY IN
ZONES 4 AND 5, PLUS THE WEIGHT OF PERSONNEL
REQUIRED TO MOVE IT TO A FORWARD ZONE,
COULD CAUSE AND OUT-OF-BALANCE CONDITION
DURING LOADING.
