I'm sure you're confused. The CG point is always an arm. A moment tells
you NOTHING about the CG. A moment of 1000 could be 1000 pounds at the
datum or 1 pound 1000 units away from the datum. If you've computed the
moment, you divide that by the weight to get the arm.


The 1986 Cessna Skyhawk manual presents the W&B data in both Weight vs
Moment and Weight vs CG.
