An instructor got me to do a W&B once which showed the balance too far forward, out of the envelope. He then pointed out that the lever arm for the pilot seats was asctually given as a range, because of course you can move the seats backwards and forwards, and said that heavier pilots are generally(!) taller, so don't have the seats on the forward stops, so you can use a more rearward figure.
