What potential adverse aircraft condition might arise when baggage is placed in the forward cargo hold rather than further aft?

  • A

    Nose down, affecting climb performance.

  • B
    Deep stall due to reduced tail lift.
  • C
    Reduced roll stability.
  • D
    Unwanted yaw.

The further forward the CG of an aircraft of a given mass, the greater the need for downward elevator force to counteract the resulting nose-down moment.

A forward CG increases the pitch-down moment, necessitating the elevator to counterbalance this tendency by exerting a strong downward force, effectively increasing the aircraft's weight. Consequently, the climb performance is diminished.
