CG question

[mblackwolf]

Hey guys! Hate to bother you with another probably obvious question that seems to be slipping my mind. The aft cg limit is limited by the nuetral point of the aircraft. However, I can't remember what is used to determine the forward cg limit. Thanks for any input.

Generally the ability of the elevator or horizontal stabilizer to flare the aircraft for landing is the limiting factor.

it's usually given in your weight and balance flight envelope.

Nah, that can't be it.

Aircraft will have no problem getting to the ground with insufficient elevator up authority.

I think you will find that is exactly the problem, but you already knew that.
