Referring to Figure 5-8 , draw a line vertically upward from 131.8 on the horizontal index at the bottom of the chart and a horizontal line from 3,027 pounds in the left-vertical index. These lines intersect within the dashed area, which shows that the aircraft is loaded properly for takeoff, but it is too heavy for landing (similar to the previous example). Because of this, if the aircraft had to return for landing immediately after takeoff, it would need to fly long enough to burn 77 pounds (slightly less than 13 gallons) of fuel to reduce its weight for landing.
