Filing Flight Plan
OK I am going to start off with throwing myself under the bus and asking a very stupid question. I believe I know the answer but was curious if there is more to this then what I am seeing.
When I first got instruction on weight and balance I was taught the old school method of weight times arm of course equals moment.
My instructor would have me write it out long hand on a sheet of paper total everything and then see if we were in the CG envelope.
My question is with Cessna I've noticed on the 172, 182, and even the 210 they never provide an arm for the fuel. They give an arm for every station besides the fuel. I understand this arm would change because the fuel is the one item where weight changes in flight.
I remember training questions for weight and balance where there was a fixed arm for fuel on board. Isn't there other aircraft like from piper that provide a fixed station arm for fuel ? Thanks.....George
