How do I find the centre of gravity and if it is the C of G limits?

Attain the current weight and balance sheet for airplane. In your POH find the weight and balance section that gives you the name of each station with it’s arm. Multiply the weight by each station arm to get the moment for each arm. Add up the weight column. Add up the moment column. Divide the moment by the weight to get the centre of gravity (C of G). Find the C of G envelop graph in your airplane’s POH. Mark your C of G on the envelop graph to determine if you C of G is in acceptable limits.

OBJECTIVE

To understand the range of attitudes through which the aircraft is normally be operated.
To understand how the various attitude necessary for flight are produced and controlled.
To understand yaw and how it is controlled.

MOTIVATION TO LEARN THESE ATTITUDE AND MOVEMENTS

Understanding the different attitudes and movements and how they are controlled are fundamental to learning to fly an airplane. Without proper knowledge of which controls are used to make changes to your airplanes orientation you will not be able to perform the necessary air exercises to prepare you for your flight test.
