What is the purpose of the cabin loading form OFLT-11G?

• A. Used to report fuel load
• B. Used to log maintenance issues
• C. Used to schedule galley supplies
• D. Used by the flight attendant to report the distribution of passengers for purposes of calculating the location of aircraft center of gravity

Answer: (D)

Understanding weight and balance is about where mass sits in the airplane. The cabin loading form OFLT-11G captures how passengers are distributed across the cabin, providing the data needed to calculate the aircraft’s center of gravity. Knowing the CG is crucial for safe takeoff and flight, because it affects stability and performance. With this information, the flight crew can verify the loading stays within limits and make any necessary adjustments. Other tasks like reporting fuel load, logging maintenance issues, or scheduling galley supplies are handled by other forms and procedures, not for determining CG.
