Maximum GZ

Derived from a line is drawn tangential to the statical stability curve at its maximum elevation, the maximum GZ in metres may be read from the left side of the graph. If a perpendicular line is drawn from the point of contact of the tangential line with the statical stability curve, the angle of heel at which the maximum GZ occurs may be read from the scale of angle of heel at the foot of the graph.
