• CG limits: 7.96 in (202 mm) to 12.49 in (317 mm) aft of datum at all weights; Figure 6.8 is a moment envelope (in.lb) and its corners convert to these arms (e.g. ~9550/1200 and ~13160/1653 forward, ~14990/1200 and ~20650/1653 aft).
• The 1200 lb lower edge of the envelope is only the chart's lowest plotted weight, not a printed minimum weight.

• Fuel density 6.01 lb/USG (0.72 kg/L) as printed.
• Baggage: max 44 lb (20 kg) only with baggage harness; baggage compartment extension is optional (installed at manufacture). Combined baggage in both areas must not exceed 44 lb; manual offers a combined-baggage arm of 47.22 in (1.20 m) for convenience.
