Thanks for the replies

Why bother ? .. if you are doing the sums on a PC, stay in moment

its not really a bother (thats the form i have the data in) , to clarify.....i am taking this info from a physical manual loadsheet , thats why i have the indices which is infact better for me since i have to show index units on the loadsheet anyway , however i do know that the reduction factor (index constant) is 1000 , the datum is 6.3825 meters forward of the nose and Kgs/in is what is being used...i have the CG bit so far..and i understand that in this case it would be in inches ..which again brings me to MAC ?? .......

here's some data from a computer loadsheet for the same aircraft type

LIZFW -4.59 MACZFW 24.21 ZFW = 100278 KGS
LITOW -31.60 MACTOW 21.16 TOW = 141278 KGS
LILAW 4.47 MACLAW 25.68 LAW = 112578 KGS

given the above data , and the mentioned datum and index constant
to get any MAC = ??
