Refer to figure.
From the data given at the appendix and assuming a fuel index shift of – 5.7 from the ZFM loaded index, determine which of the following is the correct value (percentage MAC) for the position of the centre of gravity at Take Off Mass.

  • A

    14%

  • B

    19%

  • C

    18%

  • D

    15%

Refer to figure.
First we identify takeoff mass:
Takeoff mass = DOM + takeoff fuel + traffic load = 59 800 kg

We make a line representing TOM
We go left in the fuel index a value of (-5.7)
We go down till intercepting takeoff mass line we draw before.

CG at takeoff = 18% (approx. 18.3%)
