components of the airplane which require maintenance and servicing, a method utilizing
fuselage station, wing station or buttock line (BL), and water line (WL) designations is

buttock lines, and water lines are reference points measured by inches in the vertical or
horizontal direction from a given reference line which indicates station locations of
structural members of the airplane. Station 0 of the fuselage is 78.4 inches ahead of the
wing leading edge or 33.4 inches ahead of the firewall; station 0 (BL) of the wing and
stabilator is the centerline of the airplane; and station 0 (WL) of the vertical stabilizer and
rudder is 20.5 inches below the cabin floor as measured at the rear wing spar with the
airplane level.
2-4. WEIGHT AND BALANCE DATA. When figuring various weight and balance
computations, the empty, static and gross weight, and center of gravity of the airplane may
be found in the Weight and Balance Section of Pilot's Operating Handbook.
2-5. SERIAL NUMBER PLATE. The serial number plate is located on the aft left side of
