Pattern Altitude
I'm trying to figure out all this weight and balance stuff, when this question came up on sportys practice test.
I thought I understood how to figure these things out, but this one has me confused.
Can someone please explain how to solve this. I know the answer and still cant figure out how to make sense of it. No charts or diagrams to help on the practice test for this question. I am lost on this one..
The Question: "Spelling is exactly as on the practice test. Word for word"
The CG if located how far aft of the datum? GIVEN: Aircraft empty weight 1,495.0 lbs., CG 101.4 in., Moment 151, 593.0 in./lbs.; Pilot and passengers 380.0 lbs., 64.0 in.; Fuel (30 Gal usable, no reserve), 96.0 in.

I hid the correct answer given if you don't want to have it spoil the fun. Just remove the 5's and 6's. Answer: CG 59645.5061
