Hi TQ
not sure what loading system they were using to get that but here is an example load.
Empty C of G index 74.
Put 2 big fellas/gals at 100kg each in the front. Throw 50kg in the nose, and full mains.
This will give you about index 55 at 2245Kg TOW which is well within fwd C of G.
On the other hand, put 6 avg pax (incl pilot of course) at around 83 Kg plus full mains, gives you 2493 TOW, and an index of just over 100. By our loading system this is 5 or so out the back.
So throw a lightie in the back and a bag in the nose, and your sorted.
Continental-520 talks about the VG kit having a little more friendly MZFW. This might adjust the C og G range too? Maybe its not such a prob with the kit installed.
About $2500 I believe. Not a bad investment considering the extra capacity!
Cheers GW
