Hi,

Some aircraft do; for instance the 747-400.
But still we use the loadsheet figures for performance calculations. Only if the difference between the systems is more then 7000kgs, we have to look into it more closely, but still then the assumption is, that the loadsheet is correct.
The a/c system even tells you the balance figures!
