LOADING CHARTS
The following charts (metric and anglo-saxon units) are used to easily determine
the aircraft center of gravity. When the point obtained is close to the limits, it
should be confirmed by calculations.
Example: Item on chart
- The weighting operation locates the CG at 4.07 m
(160.23 in) for an EEW of 2500 kg (5511.55 lb) : 1
- 2 front seats used : 175 kg (386 lb) : 2
- 2 passengers FWD seats used : 150 kg (331 lb) : 3
- Freight in the FWD : 50 kg (110 lb) : 4
- Freight in the cargo hold : 50 kg (110 lb) : 5
- Zero fuel weight : 2925 kg (6448.6 lb) : 6
- Fuel : 500 kg (1102 lb)
-TOTAL WEIGHT : 3425 kg (7550.6 lb) : 7
The takeoff weight is 3425 kg (7550.6 lb) (item 7 with a center of gravity at
3.886 m (152.99 in).
The longitudinal CG is within the permissible limits.
During the flight, after consuming 300 kg (661 lb) of fuel (item 8 ), the center
of gravity will be 3.904 m (153.7 in).
The weight and CG limits are given in LIMITATIONS (SECTION 2) and may
be modified by the Supplements corresponding to the optional items fitted.
