Good Evening Ladies and Gentlemen, please help me with my problem
I'm working out a Mass and Balance problem for my aircraft tomorrow and based on my calculations it falls out of the envelope, Am I missing something obvious
Aircraft Weight : 1547 lbs ; Lever Arm : 84.2
Pilot and passenger : 392lbs (15st + 13st) ; Lever Arm : 80.5
Rear Passengers : 0 ; Lever Arm 118.1
Bagage : 0 ; Lever Arm 142.8
Fuel: PA28 Warrior filled up to tabs calculated at 36US gallons at a weight of 217lbs with a Lever Arm of 95.0
Totals:
Weight = 2156lbs
Moments = 182534
Inches aft of Datum = 84.66
This falls out of the envolopes,
Am I missing something obvious? Please feel free to mock me if so, but I'm really struggling to see what it is I am doing wrong?
Thanks!
