List Angle from Transverse Weight Shift
List angle in degrees resulting from a transverse weight shift on board - tan θ = w·d/(Δ·GM).
List angle
0.65deg
Formula, assumptions, and limits
Valid for small angles where GZ ≈ GM·sinθ. For larger angles (> 10°), use GZ curve directly. Typical cargo-shift list limit 5°.
