Early Cherokee 235 drivers (s/n 28-10001 to 28-11378)...

...have you (or a previous owner) already taken advantage of putting Piper report VB-274 in your AFM?

If you haven’t (I didn’t find any record of it in my logs or AFM), here’s a nice little free expansion of your CG envelope. Specifically, this revision gets you an expanded forward limit corner at 2600 lbs / 86.0 inches aft of datum. This creates some space in the full fuel / 2 front passengers regime...a zone where you’ll often find yourself forward of CG limits without adding ballast.

Enjoy!
