Date of the module
The aeroplane is divided in several zones : cargo
compartments; pax compartments; fuel tanks...
For each zone, a given mass mi (10 pax or 1000 kg)
located at di (CG of this zone) produces a variation
of Index Ii.
 OEM Index calculation :
from the weighing of the aeroplane
TOM Index calculation :
algebraic sum of the OEM Index and the Index due to
the loading of the aeroplane :

Any mass located into
a zone behind O'
produces a positive I
