Hi,

 

on my last realworld flight in the 737-800WL the plane was not full (about 80-100 passengers) and 9 people was moved to the back before we could leave the gate.

 

I was wondering how the pilots calculated that the CG was out of limits and how they got the information . Do they only use the FMC??

 

The plane was 45 minutes late so they were in a hurry with about 15-20min for a next runup.

 

Thanks

 

 

From FS2Crew I know that a final loadsheet is calculated by OPS (outside) the plane and handed over to the pilots for their final CDU entries and checks.

 

So the C/G isn't calculated by the FMC, but is entered there to calculate the optimum stab trim setting.
