Data source

POH Section 2 Weight Limits and Center of Gravity Limits (p. 2-5); Section 6, Figures 6-1, 6-3, 6-4, 6-6, 6-7, 6-8 and 6-9 (pages 13-96 of 150m-commuter-1977__poh__d1080-13-1977.pdf) · version type

• Fuel arm is not printed in a table: 42.2 in is derived from the Sample Loading Problem (135 lb usable standard fuel, moment/1000 5.7). Verify against the Loading Graph.
• Long range tanks option: 35 USG usable (3.0 USG unusable, total 38 USG). On the Loading Graph long range fuel shares the pilot/passenger line (about arm 39 in). Use it instead of the standard tank station if fitted.
• Standard tanks: 22.5 USG usable plus 3.5 USG unusable (26 USG total). Unusable fuel (arm 40.0) and full oil (arm -13.5) are included in basic empty weight.
• Envelope taken from Figure 6-9 (CG limits in arm), which matches the text: forward limit 31.5 in at 1280 lb or less, straight line to 32.9 in at 1600 lb; aft limit 37.5 in at all weights. Chart lower bound is 1100 lb. It is consistent with the moment envelope in Figure 6-8.
• Seat arm 39 in is for average occupant positions; the occupant CG range is Sta. 33 to 41. Baggage arms are at the centers of the areas.
• Baggage Area 1 (or a passenger on the optional child's seat) max 120 lb, Area 2 max 40 lb, combined max 120 lb.
• Typical empty weight is from the sample airplane (1125 lb, moment/1000 36.6). Use your airplane's actual weight and balance record.
• Read from the POH by ZuluCheck and checked by a second reading; verify against your own manual.
