Where are maximum gross weight and center of gravity (CG) limits communicated in the POH?

Where are maximum gross weight and center of gravity (CG) limits communicated in the POH?

• A. The Limitations section under Airspeed Limitations.
• B. The Weight and Balance section.
• C. The Emergency Procedures section.
• D. The Performance section.

Answer: (B)

Weight and balance data define the airplane’s loading envelope, including how much weight you can carry and where that weight is allowed to be located. In the POH, the section that covers this data provides the maximum gross weight, theCG limits (forward and aft), and the moment/arm information you need to compute the airplane’s balance for any loading scenario. This makes it the go-to source for determining whether a given load is within safe, certified limits before flight. The other sections serve different purposes: airspeed limitations tell you speed restrictions, emergency procedures outline actions to take in an abnormal situation, and the performance section shows how weight and balance affect takeoff, landing, and climb performance but does not itself state the fixed maximum weight or CG limits.
