OK, I'll play. Let's say I have a BC-12D. If my empty CG is 17.5", what is the CG range to use? If the empty CG is 18.5" now what is the CG range to use?... -
Sure, the loaded CG changes with the load. Burning fuel changes the load. But you asked about the CG range, i.e. limits. The forward and aft <LIMITS> do not change unless the aerodynamic configuration changes. Your role as a pilot is to assure the loaded CG stays within the range. The T-craft...Leave a comment:

Since you've got the CD, look in the registration.PDF for the Bill of Sale from the surplus sale, probably from the Reconstruction Finance Corporation. It was the last/oldest doc in my PDF. What mine called the Identification No is the Bureau (Bu) Number and will be needed to find the military records....Leave a comment:

The CG range is aerodynamic and doesn't change unless something like the addition of floats changes the aerodynamics. You may be thinking of the empty weight CG range where if you load without exceeding any of the useful load limits (pax, baggage, fuel) then you can't mathematically get out of the aerodynamic...Leave a comment:

The Type Certificate Data Sheet/Aircraft Specification is your friend. Look for the section of your specific model and you'll find the CG range. Most have a landplane and one or more seaplane configs. You'll also find the CG arm for seats, baggage and fuel shown as something like (+23), (+40), etc....
