Complete the Loaded Center of Gravity calculations as was done for the
Empty Weight Center of Gravity Chart.
Each of the following eight critical loading conditions should be

condition that may affect the weight and balance envelope of the aircraft.
This is particularly important for those aircraft operated close to the C.G.
limits.
WARNING: Be sure the maximum individual weights and the gross weight
are not exceeded at any time. Be sure all loaded items are placed in
approved locations aboard the aircraft.

the results and name of person performing the calculation. This
document, in its entirety, is part of the Aircraft Legal Documents. It must
