Refer to figure.
Calculate the loaded centre of gravity (CG) using the given information in the annex.
  • A
    53.35 cm in front of datum.
  • B
    60.16 cm aft of datum.
  • C
    56.35 cm in front of datum.
  • D
    56.61 cm aft of datum.

Center of Gravity = Total moment / Total mass

Total moment for the airplane = 361350 — 23200 + 1091000 — 16400 — 48360 = 1364390

Total mass = 12045 + 145 + 5455 + 410 + 6045 = 24100 kg

Center of Gravity = 1364390 / 24100 = 56.61 aft of the datum

Location is aft of the datum as the result is positive, if the result is negative it will be forward of the datum
