I have literally no clue where to start. Any help finding the formula or limits would be a huge help.

Thanks all!
It’s usually referred to as W&B.
I’d be concerned and talking to my instructor if I was you.

Are you saying you’ve no concept of W&B?

Have you done the calculations for performance? Take off to 50’ from a wet grass runway with no wind at MAUW for instance?
