ACS element text (the applicant demonstrates understanding of)

Aircraft limitations.

If the CG is not within the allowable limits after loading, it will be necessary to relocate some items before flight is attempted. Operating above the maximum weight limitation compromises the structural integrity of the aircraft and can adversely affect performance.
