Question Dash 8-Q400 CG questions

Hi Guys. It's been a while since I've posted because I moved from Italy back to the states. I'm out of the military now and working as an air traffic controller at Sawyer International Airport up in Upper Michigan.

Well, I have a few CG questions pertaining to the Dash 8-Q400.

1) what is the CG range for the aircraft? Preferably in % if I need to clarify.

2) What is the Operational Empty Weight CG?

Thanks you all very much in advance!

Scott

Hi Scott,

looking at the loadsheet here, the forward C of G limit is 16% with a full passenger load or 18% with a partial load and the rear limit is 33/34%

The empty forward limit is less than 16% (there is no scale on here below 16%) and the rear limit as before.

Hope this helps.
