Datum. The C.G. datum is at fuselage station 200 on the center line of aircraft and is marked on
the underside of the fuselage.
Standard Mean Chord. Length: 72.72 in.
(SMC) The leading edge of SMC is 18.215 in. aft of datum (Sta. 200).
Leveling Means. For determination of the center of gravity the aircraft should be brought to datum horizontal
attitude. This is checked horizontally using a clinometer with a straight edge placed on pegs
inserted in the holes in the two leveling plates on the fuselage port side at Sta. 212 and Sta. 291.12.
The lateral level is checked using the two floor seat rails at the front spar frame in the passenger
compartment.

Datum. This is located at fuselage Station 200 on the center line of the aircraft and is marked by
a datum plate on the underside of the aircraft.
Standard Mean Chord (SMC). Length : 72.72 inches
Leading Edge : Station 218.21
Leveling Means. For determination of the center of gravity the aircraft should be brought to datum horizontal
attitude. This is checked horizontally using a clinometer with a straight edge placed on pegs
inserted in the holes in the two leveling plates on the fuselage left side at Sta. 212 and Sta. 291.12.
The lateral level is checked using the two floor seat rails at the front spar frame in the passenger
compartment.
