How does the aircraft know how heavy it is and where is the center of gravity?
Let's assume you receive a loadsheet, you do not make your own. Standard things like crew, PAX, etc. Of course all the weights.
What I do not know is what do you put to FMS.
ZFW and fuel? Or TOW? Do you put fuel manually from loadsheet or from instruments or does the aircraft know? What does it do with taxi fuel?
Once You start your type rating course those questions will be quickly answered.
