If I may add some amplification to Bob's comments - (a) as part of the certification flight test process, the TPs make assessments based on the Sta...
[color=blue][i][b]At this stage I am using a formula which doesnt take long to work out once the ZFW has been calculated but it doesnt get me an exact...
