- Reference area — … m² (all coefficients are against this)
- dCl/dα — … per degree
- Cl max — … at …°…
- dCm/dα — … per degree — …
- Neutral point — … m … the moment reference — put the CG ahead of it
- Cd, Cl at zero — …, …

Problems reported against this step
The application reports no problems against this step.
… marks a value the application computes at run time, so the source carries no fixed text for it.
