Thank you, John. You pinpointed my problem. I did not consider that the baggage limit between 40 lbs and 65 lbs results in different empty wt CG ranges. The empty wt CG of my aircraft does not allow 65 lbs of baggage because it is greater than the +25.8 limit. However, it is less than the 40 lbs limit of +26.6. When I use these numbers things look good.
I have updated the spreadsheet with empty wt CG ranges and a empty wt CG calculation of the actual aircraft empty CG. I have also found an error in one of the ARM numbers. In addition, I have added the right numbers from A-718 and A-787 for models C, CD and D. The file is uploaded to the file section of this forum. Thanks for the information. As always, I continue to learn more. Frank Nelson N51DV - 415C --- In [email protected], "John Cooper" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > For the C and CD the empty wt. CG range is +25.2 to +25.8.
