Weight and Balance-601
Can anyone explain the bottom half of the 601 weight and balance form? The section that compares forward vs aft CG's? Or share an example? Are we to use the same takeoff wt for both examples? If not, why only one slot for takeoff wt? This one's got me stumped. Thanks, ahead of time!

The fore and aft calculations are different due to fuel consumed. For the aft use the Take-Off Weight. For the forward use a gross weight after removing fuel to be burned. I think that is what you would put in the Gross Weight entry vs the Take-Off weight entry.
