Center of Gravity is the point at which an airplane, or equip-
ment, would balance if suspended. Its distance from the
reference datum is found by dividing the total moment by the
total weight of the airplane.
Center of Gravity Arm is the arm obtained by adding the
airplane's individual moments and dividing the sum by the
total weight.
Center of Gravity Limits are the extreme center of gravity
locations within which the airplane must be operated at a
given weight.
Standard Empty Weight is the weight of a standard airplane,
including unusable fuel, full operating fluids and full engine
oil.
Basic Empty Basic Empty Weight is the standard empty weight plus the
Weight weight of optional equipment.
