3. Insert the weights and the moments for fuel, occupants and baggage from the previous chart
4. Total the weight and the moment columns
5. Divide the total moment by the total weight to get the arm
6. Check that the total weight does not exceed maximum gross weight of 1320 pounds
7. Check that the arm falls within the C.G. range
