2-30-3 Weight Removal, Increase or Movement to Change the Center of Gravity (CG) Location
1.
It is very important to decrease the airplane weight to the lowest possible quantity before you start the recovery operation. It will be easier to lift and to tow the airplane. The payload you can remove for a large change in the weight includes the passengers, the cargo and the baggage. The removal of fuel and large airplane components can also decrease a large quantity of the weight.
2.
You can move or increase the weight on one side of the airplane. This will change the position of the airplane CG. Then you can easily lift the other side of the airplane. For example, if you have a damaged nose gear, you can move weight to the aft end of the airplane. Then you can easily lift the nose of the airplane.
