Regulations (see Certification Basis), must be installed in the aircraft for
certification.
Note 1. A. Current weight and balance report including list of equipment included in certificated weight
empty, and loading instructions when necessary must be in each aircraft at all times.
B. The location of the center of gravity for any gross weight configuration, determined from T.O.
1-1B-40, Handbook of Weight and Balance Data, must fall within the percent of the mean
aerodynamic chord (MAC) shown on the Center of Gravity Limitation Chart (figure 5-6).
For information and method of calculating the airplane center of gravity, refer to T.O. 1C-130A-9,
