Checklists
WEIGHT AND BALANCE
It is important to make sure that the con-
guration of the airplane selected, matches the
fuel/payload data listed in the simulator drop-
down menu. The simulation will react to any
changes in the data that you make or enter.
Once you have established your intended
ight and have fuel and payload data available,
enterthesevaluesintheboxesprovided.Adjust
the payload fore and aft to achieve a good CoG
balance as indicated on the plane graphic of the
drop-down. Doing this will decrease the amount
of time required to trim the aircraft for level and
balancedight.
