Mass and Balance with a Last-Minute Load Change

A narrow-body twin-jet is being loaded for a 2-hour sector. The load sheet shows: basic operating mass 41,200 kg, index at that mass 42.0; 150 passengers at 84 kg standard mass = 12,600 kg in the forward cabin (arm 12.0 m from datum, index factor +0.5 per 1000 kg·m); 40 passengers aft at 84 kg = 3360 kg (arm 24.0 m, index factor −0.5 per 1000 kg·m); cargo 2000 kg in hold 1 (arm 10.0 m, +0.5) and 1500 kg in hold 4 (arm 26.0 m, −0.5).
