PART V-OPERATING DATA
NOTE:-1 If F.95 nose camera is fitted with 4" lens,
then 1 ballast weight must be carried. If the
camera is subsequently removed. 4 further
ballast weights must be fitted.
NOTE:-2 The ballast weight bars are each equivalent
to one standard weight, the ballast pedestals
are together equivalent to one standard
weight. Allowance must he made for the
effect of either or both e.g. if 14 weights are
specified above, this is equivalent to 2 bars
and 12 weights.
(c) Effect of expendable stores
(i) Firing ammunition causes the C.G. to move aft.
(ii) Use of belly tank fuel causes the C.G. to move
slightly forward. Consumption of internal fuel
causes the C.G. to move forward, the furthest
forward position being reached when about 1,500
lb. (195 gallons) fuel remain. The C.G. then moves
aft again.
(d) Typical service loads
Reference fuel - AVTAG. 7.7 lb./gall.
