Mass and balance
Load the aircraft and see whether mass and centre of gravity stay within the limits.
- Take-off: within the limits1,021 kg (max 1,150 kg) · centre of gravity 0.974 m · limits 0.957 m to 1.150 m
- Landing: within the limits992 kg (max 1,150 kg) · centre of gravity 0.974 m · limits 0.947 m to 1.150 m
Take-off: within the limits. Landing: within the limits.
Burning 40 L moves the centre of gravity 1 mm aft: the tanks sit ahead of it.

Moment is mass times arm. The centre of gravity is the total moment divided by the total mass; it sits with the totals in the arm column.
This is an example aircraft for learning. For a real flight, always use the flight manual of your own aircraft.
