If the FOB entry is not correct, the GW and CG will not be correct until the engines are started, and
all of the above-mentioned consequences apply. When the engines are started, fuel figures are
updated and applicable data is also updated accordingly.

OPERATIONAL RECOMMENDATIONS
Applicable to: ALL
It is possible to limit the number of ZFW or ZFWCG entry errors by applying the following
recommendations:
• If the flight crew performs a manual refuelling, the flight crew should carefully check the CG
calculation, because the load and trim sheet CG is calculated on the basis of the standard
distribution of fuel.
• Both flight crewmembers should crosscheck ZFW and ZFWCG entries.
• The CG on the load and trim sheet should be compared with the CG on the ECAM.
If the flight crew detects a GW error in flight (e.g. a characteristic speeds error), then a GW update
can be made via the FUEL PRED page of the MCDU.

PREFACE
Applicable to: ALL
The Center of Gravity (CG) is the point at which weight is applied. The CG is expressed as a
percentage of the Mean Aerodynamic Chord (MAC). It must remain within a range determined by the
CG's impact on the aircraft:
• Performance
• Structure
• Handling characteristics (when in direct law).
These factors define the range that the CG must remain within. This range is referred to as the CG
envelope.
MECHANICAL ASSUMPTIONS
Applicable to: ALL
For pitch control, there are three forces that must be considered when airborne:
• The weight applied on the CG
• The lift applied on the Center of Pressure (CP)
• The downward force created by the Trimmable Horizontal Stabilizer (THS).
Forces applied on flying aircraft
Because the first two forces are not applied at the same point, they create a pitching moment, that
must be counteracted by the THS setting.
INFLUENCE OF THE CENTER OF GRAVITY ON THE AIRCRAFT PERFORMANCE
Applicable to: ALL
The position of the CG has a significant impact on performance, because it determines the balance
of the longitudinal forces.

When the CG moves forward, the nose down moment increases. The THS produces a greater
downward force to counteract this moment. As a result, lift must increase, in order to balance both
the weight and the THS downward force. Therefore, a forward CG will result in a greater stall speed
value. On A330/A340, the stall speed increases by 1.5 kt, when the CG varies from 26 % to full
forward CG.

IMPACT ON TAKEOFF PERFORMANCE
TAKEOFF SPEED AND ASSOCIATED DISTANCES
The aircraft operating speeds are referenced to the stall speed, e.g. V2 >1.13 VS1G.
If the CG moves forward ▸ VS1G increases ▸ V2 increases ▸ TOD increases (or the
runway-limited TOW decreases).
ROTATION MANEUVER
An aft CG gives the aircraft a nose up attitude, that helps the rotation. A forward CG results in a
nose heavy situation, and a difficult rotation. It is "heavier", therefore longer, at forward CG.
CLIMB GRADIENT
As mentioned above, a forward CG is counteracted by a greater THS downward force.
This creates drag, that, in addition to the drag caused by the lift increase, degrades aircraft
performance, for example, the climb gradient.
For example:
A340 Performance decrement with CG full forward, in comparison with CG 26 % CONF. 3, Packs On, ISA, Zp=0
CG 26 % CG full forward
TOD 3 165 m 3 241 m 76 m
5 % Climb gradient limiting weight 257.6 t 256.2 t 1.4 t

IMPACT ON IN-FLIGHT PERFORMANCE
A forward CG causes a nose up counter moment, that degrades fuel consumption, because
of increased induced drag. For low fuel consumption, it is better to have the CG as far aft as
possible.
