2.8 CENTER OF GRAVITY
Datum Plane
The datum plane (DP) is a plane which is normal to the airplane’s longitudinal axis and
in front of the airplane as seen from the direction of flight. The airplane’s longitudinal axis
is parallel with the fuselage tube. When the fuselage tube is aligned horizontally, the datum
plane is vertical. The reference datum (RD) for the center of gravity (CG) calculation is
tangent to the leading edge of the wing at the root rib.
Center of Gravity Limitations
The center of gravity (CG position) for flight conditions must be between the following
limits:
Most forward flight CG: 0.240 m (9.45 in) aft of datum plane
Most rearward flight CG: 0.370 m (14.57 in) aft of datum plane
WARNING
Exceeding the center of gravity limitations reduces the
controllability and stability of the airplane.
