• Airplane is certified in the Utility Category only; a single envelope is given.
• Maximum ramp weight 3400 lb (same as MTOW). Maximum landing weight 3230 lb. Maximum empty weight 2568 lb.
• Maximum zero fuel weight varies linearly with CG: 2725 lb at 103 in to 3228 lb at 110 in (straight line). It is left null because it is not a single value; check zero-fuel weight against this sloping line.
• Minimum flight weight varies linearly: 2240 lb at 103 in to 2500 lb at 110 in. This forms the bottom edge of the envelope.
• Envelope vertices read from Figure 6-20 and confirmed by text: at 3400 lb the range is 107-110 in; at 2500 lb it is 103-110 in.
• Fuel: only usable quantity is printed. S/N 42502 to 42567 have 98 USG (588 lb) usable; S/N 42568 and on have 102 USG (612 lb) usable. Total tank capacity is not given. Unusable fuel is included in empty weight.
• Fuel density 6 lb/USG is the value used in the sample problem.
• Baggage: combined maximum is 120 lb across the main area (Zones A, M and B) and the shelf. The shelf (hat rack) is limited to 20 lb. Zone A must be loaded first.
• typicalEmpty is the sample-problem empty weight only (2295 lb at 102.75 in). Use the actual Weight & Balance Record for the specific airplane.
• Read from the POH by ZuluCheck and checked by a second reading; verify against your own manual.
