Yes - Fuel burn moves CG Forward. If you have no baggage and two heavy occupants, i.e. 220 lbs each, you can be
in CG @ 82.65 at takeoff and landing with only 3 gallons of fuel, you would be at 80.37 with forward limit of 80.49.
If you set a personal limit of not landing with less than 4 gallons, you will remain in limits at all times. Fuel burn moves CG Forward. |
