In preperation for my CPL ASEL ckrd coming up Monday, I was looking over the POH for the 182 RG and noticed in the "limitations" chapter that retratcting the gear results in a +3052 lb.-ins. moment change. I assume the W&B data in the POH is all based on gear up. I could not find anything in the weight and balance chapter that specifally addressed the moment change due to gear retraction.
If you aren't familiar, the gear on the 182RG retracts toward the tail of the aircraft.
Aren't there conceivably scenarios where you could be within limits with the gear retracted, then once you extend them the CG would be forward of limits? Does anyone out there take this into account when computing their weight and balance data for a flight?
Thanks for the help.
