if the empty weight cg of an airplane lies within the empty weight cg limits,
a it is necessary to calculate the cg at gross weight.
b it is not necessary to calculate the cg location at gross weight.
c minimum fuel should be used in both forward and rearward cg checks.

Explanation:

Even if the empty - weight CG is within limits, when the airplane is at gross weight (with passengers, fuel, cargo etc.), the CG can change. So, it is necessary to calculate the CG at gross weight. Option B is incorrect as it says it's not necessary. Option C is about fuel in CG checks which is not relevant to the given condition (empty - weight CG within limits).

Answer:

A. it is necessary to calculate the CG at gross weight.
