9.3-5 PERFORMANCE
There is no change in the aircraft’s takeoff, climb, cruise, or landing
performance with the parachutist operations installation installed and the
jump door closed.
9.3-6 WEIGHT AND BALANCE
The actual weight and balance of the aircraft must be calculated for all
ights, including the takeoff, intended jump positions and landing. The arms
of the jumpers in jump position are as follows:
Parachutist in forward part of door
...........................................146 Inches
Parachutist in aft part of door
...................................................163 Inches
Parachutist on jump step
..........................................................190 Inches
An aft transient CG limit of 45% MAC is permitted for the jump condition only
(75 KIAS, 20° Flaps, Maximum Bank Angle of 10°, level and coordinated
ight).
Figure 9.3-2 – Parachute Operations Center of Gravity Envelope
WARNING: The aft transient limit of 45.00% MAC is ONLY allowed
while the airplane is in the jump condition (75 KIAS, 20° Flaps, Maximum
Bank Angle of 10°, level and coordinated ight). Flight tests have been
accomplished up to this transient CG limit to ensure safe operation of the
aircraft in a limited ight envelope (jump condition only). DO NOT exceed
the aft transient limit of 84.02 inches aft of datum (45.00% MAC) as the
aircraft will become unstable and loss of control may occur.
