FUEL ALLOWANCES:
There are some conditions under which it is possible to have both
ZFW-CG and TOW-CG located inside the CG envelope and the LW-
CG outside of the CG envelope (see Figure 1).

In order to prevent the LW CG from being located outside of the CG
envelope, the idea is to determine a constrained ZFW envelope.
CONSTRAINED ZFW LIMITS
In order to determine the constrained ZFW CG envelope, it is
necessary to convert the constrained CG envelope to the index system
and then apply the fuel allowances.
Converting the previously defined forward and aft limits to the index
system using the formula:
