Refer to figure.
Determine the CG % MAC at the Zero Fuel Mass, given:

Take-Off Mass: 61 080 kg
Zero Fuel Mass: 49 000 kg
Take-Off Fuel 12 080 kg
Fuel index: -6.9
Zero fuel index: 70.0

  • A

    21.4 % MAC

  • B

    23.0 % MAC

  • C
    24.3 % MAC
  • D
    22.2 % MAC

Refer to figure.
The question provides a lot of information, however it focuses on determining the CG in % MAC for the Zero Fuel Mass (ZFM), making all other information irrelevant.

With a ZFM of 49 000 kg and a Zero Fuel Index of 70.0, we can plot these two lines in the chart. By identifying their intersection point and reading the corresponding CG % MAC against the fan lines, we find that the CG % MAC is approximately 24.3.
