Fuel
MA600 WEIGHT AND BALANCE MANUAL
GENERAL
The fuel tank is divided into three groups (which is described in an example of half wing):
Group I, Group II and Group III.
Group I is a central wing soft fuel tank, located between rib 3 and rib 4, rib 4 and rib 5.
Both fuel tanks are common to each other;
A row of fuel ports at a certain height above the rib 8a. When the fuel level rises to the
fuel port, Group II and Group III fuel tanks will be connected as one.
The configuration of each group of fuel tanks is shown in the Fig. 1-20-01A.

I.
EFF:0907 1-20-02

Nov 20/2012
MA600 WEIGHT AND BALANCE MANUAL
FUEL CONSUMPTION
In course of normal engine operation, the fuel supply sequence of the fuel tanks is: Group
I→Group II→Group III.
Prior to taxi, all the valves must be flexibly operative and be fully opened and the fuel
pumps inside the fuel tank must be engaged in a proper operation, unless it is otherwise
specified.
When the fuel in Group I fuel tank is being consumed, the fuel in Group I fuel tanks shall
be transferred to the on-duty fuel tanks (i.e., Group III) , at this moment, the fuel feed
control valve on the Group I fuel tank pipe will open, and the fuel feed control valve in
Group II fuel tanks is closed and the fuel is supplied from Group I fuel tank. When the fuel
used up transducer inside Group I fuel tank sends out the fuel used up signal, the sensor
will automatically control the closure of the fuel feed control valve in fuel supply pipe of
Group I fuel tank. Meanwhile, the fuel feed control valve in fuel feed pipe of Group II fuel
tanks will open to feed the fuel to Group II fuel tanks.
As with the fuel consumption of engines and the fuel feed of fuel feed jet pump, the float
feed fuel valve will adjust the openness of its fuel outlet to make the fuel inside the Group
III fuel tanks in a balanced condition, in order to ensure the fuel system will normally
supply the fuel to the engines.
When a failure is occurred in the fuel supply system of certain wing fuel tank, the
single-engine operation can be performed and the flight level can be reduced. The side
where the failure is occurred makes use of the gravity fuel supply and another side will
normally supply the fuel, however, the powers of both engines will be matched.
When certain engine occurs any failure, the emergency fuel pump and connection switch
EFF:0907 1-20-03
Page 1
Nov 20/2012
MA600 WEIGHT AND BALANCE MANUAL
on the side where the engine has been failed shall be immediately turned on to achieve
the fuel transfer to the fuel tank in another side.
In case of failures of the fuel feed jet pump and emergency fuel pump on both sides of
wing fuel tanks (or the airborne power-off), the aircraft comes into a condition of
dual-engine suction fuel supply. When the aircraft is under a suction fuel supply, only the
fuel in Group II and III fuel tanks can be consumed, and the residual fuel in Group I fuel
tanks can not be consumed any more.

WEIGHING
1. General
Weighing is an essential task that shall be made, after the new airplane is manufactured or a
major airplane modification has been made and the other circumstances, in order to specify
the actual weight and CG position when this airplane is under a certain condition. The
weighing methods and specific steps are described in the following.
2. Weighing Tools
2 sets of main landing gear scales (the range is 10 t~20 t (22046 lb~44092 lb), the
measurement accuracy is 1/1000);
1 set of nose landing gear scale (the range is 3 t~5 t (6614 lb~11023 lb), the measurement
accuracy is 1/1000);
There is respectively 1 level instrument, measurement gauge, aluminum hammer, tape ruler,
front fuselage jack and wheel replacement jack;
A. Airplane weighing shall be accomplished in or outside the hanger in calm wind condition.
B. Fuel tank shall be free from any usable fuel. When there is any usable fuel in the fuel tank,
the fuel drain port shall be opened outside the airport, drain the fuel with a fuel drain
connector until no fuel can not be drained out.
C. Empty weight includes the oil weight. The quantity in the oil tank of the airplane shall be
checked before it is weighed. In any lack of oil quantity, the oil shall be refilled to the
stipulated gauge scale.
D. Check the quantity in the hydraulic fluid reservoir. When the accumulator of hydraulic
pressure system is not pressurized, the fluid shall be refilled to the stipulated range of the
quantity gauge.
E. Remove all the protective guards of the airplane, and clear all the equipment and
miscellaneous items that are not associated with the empty airplane weight.
F. Check various airborne items and their correction locations according to the equipment
and operational liquid checklist.
NOTE: If there is any equipment that has not been installed (but shall be installed) or
additionally installed (but shall not be installed), its weight and CG list shall be
respectively listed in order to be used for the calculations with the empty weight
and CG location of airplane that would be physically weighed.

G. At the end of check, close the door of each cabin or door. All the control surfaces shall be
in neutral position and the flaps shall be in retracted position.
H. Check the accuracy and measurement range of weighing apparatus and the calibration
acceptance certificate.
The airplane remains stationary (the cargo compartment door is closed, each control
surface is under a neutral position and the flap is retracted). Move the airplane onto the
weighing bridge so that the nose wheel and main landing gear stay in the center position
of each ground bridge. The placement of weighing bridge is identical with the position of
landing gear wheels, as shown in Fig.1-80-03A, to record the readings in each bridge.
B. Fix the shock absorber strut of nose landing gear with NLG camber-clamp, so as to
ensure gear compression has no variation in weighing. Refer to Fig. 1-80-03B.

C. Properly set the level instrument to establish the reference datum. The level instrument
shall be mounted on the position from which the associated measurement points can be
observed.
D. Lateral weighing
After the airplane has been trimmed laterally and vertically (refer to section 1-80-02), the
lateral weighing can be made.
E. Nose-up weighing
On the basis of lateral status, use the cushion blocker to raise the NLG up for 200 mm
(7.87 in) for weighing, and record P1′, P2′ and h4′, h6′, then raise the airplane nose wheel
up to 400 mm (15.75 in) to be weighed, and record P1″, P2″ and h4″, h6″.
F. Remove the cushion plate, remove the clamp frame and positioning pin. It is the end of
weighing.

With the above-mentioned formula, the weight and CG of this airplane in our example is:
6. CG Position in MAC
To calculate the airplane CG position in MAC, refer to section 1-00-06 and Fig. 1-00-06B.
Input XT=9.683 m(31.768 ft)、YT=0.634 m(2.080 ft)into the formula in section 1-00-06, and
result into:
XTO=0.8514(m)
YTO=0.7875(m)
XTO=30.29(% MAC)
The airplane CG position after landing gear retraction shall be calculated with the following
formula:
XT=(ΣGiXi-1114.228)÷ΣGi
YT=(ΣGiYi+1090.443)÷ΣGi
Consequently, the CG after landing gear retraction of the airplane in our example is:
XT=(204461.01-1114.228)÷21115=9.630(m)
YT=(13382.615+1090.443)÷21115=0.685(m)
XTO=(9.683-8.874)cos3°+(1.465-0.634)sin3°=0.796(m)

As shown in table 1-90-02A, the basic information and loading condition of the airplane can
be obtained from the loading information table.
2. Loading Table
The loading table consists of three parts: MEW, CG position table, the table of variable
airplane gross weight part and the weight and CG table of airplane takeoff and landing, as
shown in table 1-90-02B.
It locates at the upper part of loading table, in which the horizontal straight line represents
the weight, and the slant line represents the CG position. The intersection point of these
two lines is the position of basic empty airplane weight and CG. This is the initial point
used to calculate the airplane takeoff CG position.
NOTE: The weight and CG data of MEW shall derive from the actual weight in the
airplane logbook.
It locates in the middle part of the loading table, which consists of multiple lateral boxes.
The left part of the table represents various loaded items and maximum loading capacity.
The middle is the index scales. The right part of the table presents the arrow of CG shift
direction and is labeled with the weight values. The arrow direction represents the
direction of CG shift after the airplane is loaded. The values represent the weight required
to be loaded whenever one box is shifted in the middle index scale. No scale in the index
“9” which indicates that the fuel loading basically locates around the original point of
index of the calculation table. It results into a minor consequence for the airplane CG
calculation and can be disregarded. Index “10” is used to adjust the airplane CG. The
airplane CG adjustment can be achieved by moving the cargos in the front and rear
cargo compartments. The index “11” is used to calculate the consequences of L/G
retraction on airplane CG.
It locates the lower part of the loading table, in which the horizontal line represents the
airplane gross weight, and the slant line represents the airplane CG position. The
intersection point of two lines is the weight and CG position during airplane takeoff (or
landing). The shaded areas on both ends of the table represent the CG limit area. The
CG values during airplane operation must not achieve this shaded area (refer to table
1-90-02B).

When the original point is drawn, observe the corresponding intersection point between
the OEW and empty airplane CG in the table of MEW and CG position table. This point is
an original point. Draw a vertical line from this point downward to index “1”, and mark a
sign “point”
In case of line drawing, initiate from that point labeled with a sign from the loading index
scale “1”. Each box in the index scale is one unit. The box numbers shifted in the index
scale may be calculated according to the ratio between the actual load weight and the
weight number expressed in each box. Then shift the point to the calculated position in
the arrow direction and label a sign of “point”. Draw a vertical line downward from this
point to the next index scale. Label a sign of “point” in the petal. The line from the loading
index scale “1” to “9”, which is drawn with the above-mentioned method, means the
consequence of total loading to the basic CG position of empty airplane.
When there is no load in certain load index scale, or there is no scale in this index, this
line shall vertically pass through this index scale in course of line drawing until it reaches
to the next index scale with load. When the line is drawn and it is observed that it is not
adequate for certain index scale column to intercept the box numbers of the
corresponding load weight, this index scale can be over-crossed to reach to the next
index scale (or the other index scale below it). When the box number of index scale
becomes adequate, you shall return to the original index scale that is inadequate again to
draw a line.
The index scale “10” is used to adjust the airplane CG position. The simplest method to
adjust the airplane CG is to move the cargos in the front cargo compartment to the rear
cargo compartment in accordance with the adjusted data for CG, or on the contrary,
because the distance from these two compartments to the airplane CG is rather far, it
would cause a significant consequence to the airplane CG. In course of operation,
simultaneously draw two vertical lines from the obtained CG position and the CG position
intended to be adjusted toward the index scale “10” to obtain the scale box numbers
intercepted by the two vertical lines. Meanwhile, the load weight number represented by
each small box is known, and the cargo weight required to move can be immediately
observed by means of calculation.
The calculation of airplane takeoff weight is performed with the load computation
software. Refer to the load information form for the calculation results.
When the airplane takeoff CG position is calculated, a line shall be drawn downward from
a point drawn at airplane load scale “8” (or “9”) until it reaches inside the airplane takeoff
weight and CG table. This vertical line intersects with the horizontal line equal to the
takeoff weight. The data of the slant line corresponding to such intersection point is the
CG value during the airplane takeoff (% MAC) (when the landing gear is extended).
The index scale “11” is used to calculate the consequences of landing gear retraction to
the airplane CG. At the intersection point between the vertical line, which is used to
calculate the takeoff CG, and the index scale “11”, move a small box forward, which is the

consequence amount of the landing gear retraction to the airplane CG. Draw a vertical
line downward from this point to the horizontal line corresponding to the takeoff (or flight)
weight. The slant line of this point is the airplane CG position (% MAC) after the landing
gear has been retracted.
Within the takeoff weight and CG table of the loading table, draw a vertical line downward
according to TO CG position to the current gross weight of the airplane (i.e. the takeoff
weight minus the weight of used fuel), which then can result into the consequence value
(% MAC) of the fuel consumption to the airplane CG.
Assume that one set of MA 600 airplane’s manufacture’s empty weight (MEW) is 14000 kg
(30864.20 lb), MEW CG is 21% MAC, 52 passengers, the cargo in the front cargo cabinet is
420 kg (925.93 lb), the rear cargo compartment is 420 kg (925.93 lb), the fuel is 2000 kg
(4409.17 lb).
According to the operation method of the loading table, the calculation can be made and a line
can be drawn to immediately obtain the following data:

Fuel
MA600 WEIGHT AND BALANCE MANUAL
GENERAL
The fuel tank is divided into three groups (which is described in an example of half wing):
Group I, Group II and Group III.
Group I is a central wing soft fuel tank, located between rib 3 and rib 4, rib 4 and rib 5.
Both fuel tanks are common to each other;
A row of fuel ports at a certain height above the rib 8a. When the fuel level rises to the
fuel port, Group II and Group III fuel tanks will be connected as one.
The configuration of each group of fuel tanks is shown in the Fig. 1-20-01A.

EFF:0908 1-20-02

MA600 WEIGHT AND BALANCE MANUAL
FUEL CONSUMPTION
In course of normal engine operation, the fuel supply sequence of the fuel tanks is: Group
I→Group II→Group III.
Prior to taxi, all the valves must be flexibly operative and be fully opened and the fuel
pumps inside the fuel tank must be engaged in a proper operation, unless it is otherwise
specified.
When the fuel in Group I fuel tank is being consumed, the fuel in Group I fuel tanks shall
be transferred to the on-duty fuel tanks (i.e., Group III) , at this moment, the fuel feed
control valve on the Group I fuel tank pipe will open, and the fuel feed control valve in
Group II fuel tanks is closed and the fuel is supplied from Group I fuel tank. When the fuel
used up transducer inside Group I fuel tank sends out the fuel used up signal, the sensor
will automatically control the closure of the fuel feed control valve in fuel supply pipe of
Group I fuel tank. Meanwhile, the fuel feed control valve in fuel feed pipe of Group II fuel
tanks will open to feed the fuel to Group II fuel tanks.
As with the fuel consumption of engines and the fuel feed of fuel feed jet pump, the float
feed fuel valve will adjust the openness of its fuel outlet to make the fuel inside the Group
III fuel tanks in a balanced condition, in order to ensure the fuel system will normally
supply the fuel to the engines.
When a failure is occurred in the fuel supply system of certain wing fuel tank, the
single-engine operation can be performed and the flight level can be reduced. The side
where the failure is occurred makes use of the gravity fuel supply and another side will
normally supply the fuel, however, the powers of both engines will be matched.
When certain engine occurs any failure, the emergency fuel pump and connection switch
EFF:0908 1-20-03
Page 1
Nov 20/2012
MA600 WEIGHT AND BALANCE MANUAL
on the side where the engine has been failed shall be immediately turned on to achieve
the fuel transfer to the fuel tank in another side.
In case of failures of the fuel feed jet pump and emergency fuel pump on both sides of
wing fuel tanks (or the airborne power-off), the aircraft comes into a condition of
dual-engine suction fuel supply. When the aircraft is under a suction fuel supply, only the
fuel in Group II and III fuel tanks can be consumed, and the residual fuel in Group I fuel
tanks can not be consumed any more.

1. Jacking Lift Description
A. Purpose of Jacking
Jacking the airplane aims to check the operation of retraction and extension of landing
gear, or to replace the individual part or component of landing gear wheel or landing gear
as well as the lateral measurement of airplane.
B. Jacking Limitation
(1) It is allowed to Jack the airplane with full flight weight (but the passengers must not
be carried) within the airplane operation CG envelope.
(2) It is allowed to Jack the airplane on a site whose pressure is no less than 490 kPa
(71.1 psi).
(3) When the operation of airplane landing gear is checked, use 3 hydraulic jacks to
smoothly Jack the airplane, and leave the landing gear tires away from the ground
for 100 mm~150 mm(3.94 in~5.91 in).
C. Jacking equipment
The Jacking equipment consists of a front hydraulic jack, two main hydraulic jacks, two
wheel replacement jacks and the hydraulic operation platform required to supply the
pressures to the front hydraulic jack.
(1) The hydraulic jack is mounted at the Jack points at the lower surfaces of the
fuselage and wing.
(2) The Jack point of front hydraulic jack locates on the axle line of fuselage frame 7.

WEIGHING
1. General
Weighing is an essential task that shall be made, after the new airplane is manufactured or a
major airplane modification has been made and the other circumstances, in order to specify
the actual weight and CG position when this airplane is under a certain condition. The
weighing methods and specific steps are described in the following.
2. Weighing Tools
2 sets of main landing gear scales (the range is 10 t~20 t (22046 lb~44092 lb), the
measurement accuracy is 1/1000);
1 set of nose landing gear scale (the range is 3 t~5 t (6614 lb~11023 lb), the measurement
accuracy is 1/1000);
There is respectively 1 level instrument, measurement gauge, aluminum hammer, tape ruler,
front fuselage jack and wheel replacement jack;
A. Airplane weighing shall be accomplished in or outside the hanger in calm wind condition.
B. Fuel tank shall be free from any usable fuel. When there is any usable fuel in the fuel tank,
the fuel drain port shall be opened outside the airport, drain the fuel with a fuel drain
connector until no fuel can not be drained out.
C. Empty weight includes the oil weight. The quantity in the oil tank of the airplane shall be
checked before it is weighed. In any lack of oil quantity, the oil shall be refilled to the
stipulated gauge scale.
D. Check the quantity in the hydraulic fluid reservoir. When the accumulator of hydraulic
pressure system is not pressurized, the fluid shall be refilled to the stipulated range of the
quantity gauge.
E. Remove all the protective guards of the airplane, and clear all the equipment and
miscellaneous items that are not associated with the empty airplane weight.
F. Check various airborne items and their correction locations according to the equipment
and operational liquid checklist.
NOTE: If there is any equipment that has not been installed (but shall be installed) or
additionally installed (but shall not be installed), its weight and CG list shall be
respectively listed in order to be used for the calculations with the empty weight
and CG location of airplane that would be physically weighed.

G. At the end of check, close the door of each cabin or door. All the control surfaces shall be
in neutral position and the flaps shall be in retracted position.
H. Check the accuracy and measurement range of weighing apparatus and the calibration
acceptance certificate.
The airplane remains stationary (the cargo compartment door is closed, each control
surface is under a neutral position and the flap is retracted). Move the airplane onto the
weighing bridge so that the nose wheel and main landing gear stay in the center position
of each ground bridge. The placement of weighing bridge is identical with the position of
landing gear wheels, as shown in Fig.1-80-03A, to record the readings in each bridge.
B. Fix the shock absorber strut of nose landing gear with NLG camber-clamp, so as to
ensure gear compression has no variation in weighing. Refer to Fig. 1-80-03B.
EFF:0908 1-80-03

MA600 WEIGHT AND BALANCE MANUAL
C. Properly set the level instrument to establish the reference datum. The level instrument
shall be mounted on the position from which the associated measurement points can be
observed.
D. Lateral weighing
After the airplane has been trimmed laterally and vertically (refer to section 1-80-02), the
lateral weighing can be made.
E. Nose-up weighing
On the basis of lateral status, use the cushion blocker to raise the NLG up for 200 mm
(7.87 in) for weighing, and record P1′, P2′ and h4′, h6′, then raise the airplane nose wheel
up to 400 mm (15.75 in) to be weighed, and record P1″, P2″ and h4″, h6″.
F. Remove the cushion plate, remove the clamp frame and positioning pin. It is the end of
weighing.
NOTE: When the aircraft weighing at the outfield. If there is no large modification for the
aircraft, the C.G. of direction Y is not needed to measure, item (5) can be omitted.

Assume the loaded fuel in this airplane is 2000 kg (4409 lb),check from fuel CG variation
curve (refer to Fig. 1-20-04) that its CG is XC=9.815 m (32.201 ft); YC=1.476 m (4.843 ft).
XT=ΣGiXi / ΣGi
YT=ΣGiYi / ΣGi
With the above-mentioned formula, the weight and CG of this airplane in our example is:
6. CG Position in MAC
To calculate the airplane CG position in MAC, refer to section 1-00-06 and Fig. 1-00-06B.
Input XT=9.683 m (31.768 ft)、YT=0.634 m (2.080 ft) into the formula in section 1-00-06, and
result into:
XTO=0.8514 (m)
YTO=0.7875 (m)
XTO=30.29 (% MAC)
The airplane CG position after landing gear retraction shall be calculated with the following
formula:
XT=(ΣGiXi-1114.228)÷ΣGi
YT=(ΣGiYi+1090.443)÷ΣGi
Consequently, the CG after landing gear retraction of the airplane in our example is:
XT=(204461.01-1114.228)÷21115=9.630 (m)
YT=(13382.615+1090.443)÷21115=0.685 (m)
XTO=(9.683-8.874) cos3°+(1.465-0.634) sin3°=0.796 (m)
XTO=28.31 (%MAC)
EFF:0908 1-90-01

When the flight weight is 21115 kg (46500 lb), the consequences of landing gear retraction to
the airplane CG is 30.29-28.31=1.98 (%MAC).

As shown in table 1-90-02A, the basic information and loading condition of the airplane can
be obtained from the loading information table.
2. Loading Table
The loading table consists of three parts: MEW, CG position table, the table of variable
airplane gross weight part and the weight and CG table of airplane takeoff and landing, as
shown in table 1-90-02B.
It locates at the upper part of loading table, in which the horizontal straight line represents
the weight, and the slant line represents the CG position. The intersection point of these
two lines is the position of basic empty airplane weight and CG. This is the initial point
used to calculate the airplane takeoff CG position.
NOTE: The weight and CG data of MEW shall derive from the actual weight in the
airplane logbook.
It locates in the middle part of the loading table, which consists of multiple lateral boxes.
The left part of the table represents various loaded items and maximum loading capacity.
The middle is the index scales. The right part of the table presents the arrow of CG shift
direction and is labeled with the weight values. The arrow direction represents the
direction of CG shift after the airplane is loaded. The values represent the weight required
to be loaded whenever one box is shifted in the middle index scale. No scale in the index
“9” which indicates that the fuel loading basically locates around the original point of
index of the calculation table. It results into a minor consequence for the airplane CG
calculation and can be disregarded. Index “10” is used to adjust the airplane CG. The
airplane CG adjustment can be achieved by moving the cargos in the front and rear
cargo compartments. The index “11” is used to calculate the consequences of L/G
retraction on airplane CG.
It locates the lower part of the loading table, in which the horizontal line represents the
airplane gross weight, and the slant line represents the airplane CG position. The
intersection point of two lines is the weight and CG position during airplane takeoff (or
landing). The shaded areas on both ends of the table represent the CG limit area. The
CG values during airplane operation must not achieve this shaded area (refer to table
1-90-02B).

When the original point is drawn, observe the corresponding intersection point between
the OEW and empty airplane CG in the table of MEW and CG position table. This point is
an original point. Draw a vertical line from this point downward to index “1”, and mark a
sign “point”
In case of line drawing, initiate from that point labeled with a sign from the loading index
scale “1”. Each box in the index scale is one unit. The box numbers shifted in the index
scale may be calculated according to the ratio between the actual load weight and the
weight number expressed in each box. Then shift the point to the calculated position in
the arrow direction and label a sign of “point”. Draw a vertical line downward from this
point to the next index scale. Label a sign of “point” in the petal. The line from the loading
index scale “1” to “9”, which is drawn with the above-mentioned method, means the
consequence of total loading to the basic CG position of empty airplane.
When there is no load in certain load index scale, or there is no scale in this index, this
line shall vertically pass through this index scale in course of line drawing until it reaches
to the next index scale with load. When the line is drawn and it is observed that it is not
adequate for certain index scale column to intercept the box numbers of the
corresponding load weight, this index scale can be over-crossed to reach to the next
index scale (or the other index scale below it). When the box number of index scale
becomes adequate, you shall return to the original index scale that is inadequate again to
draw a line.
The index scale “10” is used to adjust the airplane CG position. The simplest method to
adjust the airplane CG is to move the cargos in the front cargo compartment to the rear
cargo compartment in accordance with the adjusted data for CG, or on the contrary,
because the distance from these two compartments to the airplane CG is rather far, it
would cause a significant consequence to the airplane CG. In course of operation,
simultaneously draw two vertical lines from the obtained CG position and the CG position
intended to be adjusted toward the index scale “10” to obtain the scale box numbers
intercepted by the two vertical lines. Meanwhile, the load weight number represented by
each small box is known, and the cargo weight required to move can be immediately
observed by means of calculation.
The calculation of airplane takeoff weight is performed with the load computation
software. Refer to the load information form for the calculation results.
When the airplane takeoff CG position is calculated, a line shall be drawn downward from
a point drawn at airplane load scale “8” (or “9”) until it reaches inside the airplane takeoff
weight and CG table. This vertical line intersects with the horizontal line equal to the
takeoff weight. The data of the slant line corresponding to such intersection point is the
CG value during the airplane takeoff (% MAC) (when the landing gear is extended).
The index scale “11” is used to calculate the consequences of landing gear retraction to
the airplane CG. At the intersection point between the vertical line, which is used to
calculate the takeoff CG, and the index scale “11”, move a small box forward, which is the
EFF:0908 1-90-02
Page 4

MA600 WEIGHT AND BALANCE MANUAL
consequence amount of the landing gear retraction to the airplane CG. Draw a vertical
line downward from this point to the horizontal line corresponding to the takeoff (or flight)
weight. The slant line of this point is the airplane CG position (% MAC) after the landing
gear has been retracted.
Within the takeoff weight and CG table of the loading table, draw a vertical line downward
according to TOCG position to the current gross weight of the airplane (i.e. the takeoff
weight minus the weight of used fuel), which then can result into the consequence value
(% MAC) of the fuel consumption to the airplane CG.
Assume that one set of MA 600 airplane’s manufacture’s empty weight (MEW) is 14000 kg
(30864.20 lb), MEW CG is 21% MAC, 52 passengers, the cargo in the front cargo cabinet is
420 kg (925.93 lb), the rear cargo compartment is 420 kg (925.93 lb), the fuel is 2000 kg
(4409.17 lb).
According to the operation method of the loading table, the calculation can be made and a line
can be drawn to immediately obtain the following data:
