what's your weight, where's your CG, what about if you have to hold, when
will you reach bingo fuel and where will your CG be then? Talk to a Bonanza
owner about CG changes with fuel burn.

Additionally, your CG probably changes when you retract your gear.
That's one of my commercial DE's pet points.


While being technically correct (if he says so), what difference does it make?
Are you going to fly with the gear down to keep the CG in the same place that
you used to figure your W&B?
