CL650/Weight and Balance

From HotStart

Weight and Balance Operational Control Manual

The document below provides a weight and balance manual for various passenger loads, payloads and full tabulated data for various aircraft load stations. As it is not currently possible to define where a particular passenger sits, you should check both the forward and aft extreme CG remains within limits, and use the average %MAC CG for takeoff trim determination (see #Simplified Trimsheet below).

Simplified Trimsheet

The table below shows the average %MAC CG values at various fuel and passenger loads. Please note that these assume an average passenger distribution throughout the cabin, and do not represent the maximum forward or aft %MAC CG values if all passengers are either seated maximally forward or aft in the cabin. It also assumes only average baggage per passenger and doesn't take any extra cargo into account.
