August 18, 20232 yr Howdy, Does anyone know what is going on with the CG of the Cessna Citation CJ4? I have to remove the pilot and the copilot to move the CG back. If I put 1 200 pound people in the pilot & co-pilot seat it's like I added 1000lbs each for the pilot & co-pilot. Thanks & Happy Landings Edited August 18, 20232 yr by jwhak
August 18, 20232 yr Author I just realized I may have been too low on fuel which caused the CG issues. Is there like a bare minimums fuel load with the CJ4? Seems like a 30 min flight with 30 reserve messes up the CG cause I am too light on fuel weight.
August 18, 20232 yr Author Wow just discovered you can move the empty CG position% mac in the weight and balance. What is this all about? Is this kinda like a cheat or something? Kinda thinking out loud here while trying to figure this out... So please excuse my multiple posts 😲
August 18, 20232 yr it seems that you are following your own topic alone... Sorry, cannot help you with that. Just wrote this comment in order to update the topic and possibly attract somebody Intel i9-13900K, GIGABYTE GAMING Z790, GeForce RTX4090, 32GB
August 18, 20232 yr I'm watching also. I haven't flown the CJ4 more than once or twice. But have been watching tutorials last week.

August 18, 20232 yr Author I would like to understand theCenter of Gravity (CG) and Mean Aerodynamic Chord (MAC) . https://www.flight-study.com/2021/11/center-of-gravity-cg-and-mean.html In the weight & balance of msfs you can change the percent MAC. And would anyone happen to know what the real CJ4's percent MAC is.
August 18, 20232 yr not sure if this helps: https://flightsimulator.azureedge.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Cessna-Citation-CJ4-User-Guide-v1.pdf https://img1.wsimg.com/blobby/go/d0378ab2-5d5a-4b7b-ba0a-8a82804c826e/downloads/CJ4 limitations.pdf?ver=1620236980760 Edited August 18, 20232 yr by turbomax AMD 7800X3D, Windows 11, Gigabyte X670 AORUS Elite AX Motherboard, 64GB DDR5 G.SKILL Trident Z5 NEO RGB (AMD Expo), RTX 4090, Samsung 980 PRO M.2 NVMe SSD 2 TB PCIe 4.0, Samsung 980 PRO M.2 NVMe SSD 1 TB PCIe 4.0, 4K resolution 50" TV @60Hz, VR: Pimax Crystal Light + HP Reverb G2 @ 90 Hz, Honeycomb Bravo Throttle Quadrant, be quiet 1000W PSU, Noctua NH-U12S chromax.black air cooler. 60-130 fps. no CPU overclocking. very nice.
