Were is the CG CALCULATOR?

Featured Replies

In the normal procedures it says to check the CG CALCULATOR to DETERMINE FINAL INDEX AND ELEV TRIM. I can not find such a calculator. Please help.Thanks,Lynn

You have it on "Weight & Balance Worksheet" inside Your cockpit.

OK, I see it. Now I go to the Elevator Trim and in the green are numbers. When I rotate the trim wheel. The tips tells me the pitch up or down in a percentage. The start index is 23.5 and the trim is 27.1 on the CG Calculator. I have searched the PDF's and don't see how this is to be set. "Set the elevator trim to the % SMC (standard mean cord) as calculated on the CG Calculator or as received on the AFIS." How do I interpret the numbers?Thanks,Lynn

I belive that if final trim is 27.1 on weigh sheet that's what you're suppose to set on trim wheel. There's a scale just next to it. Greg

The final trim depends on the weight and how this weight is allocated throughout the plane. The maximum possible, according to AOM is 32.68. You should set on your trim wheel the value that CG CALCULATION states. At least, I think it's that way, I'm not a pilot ;)I hope it does have any grammar sense and someone can understand it ;)
