6.4 CARRIAGE OF FREIGHT
The aircraft is easily kept within centre of gravity limits by loading about the middle of the cabin.
Forward centre of gravity is generally compromised with only two heavy crew in the front seats
or with heavy freight loaded towards the front of the cabin. Aft centre of gravity is generally
compromised with just the pilot and heavy freight loaded directly in through the rear cabin door.
There are three distinct areas in which freight can be carried in the GA8-TC 320 as illustrated
in Figure 6-4 – the main cargo area (zones 1A, 1B and 1C), the cabin baggage shelf
(zone 2), and the aft luggage bin (zone 3).
