An Air Canada Boeing 737-8 MAX, registration C-FTJV performing flight AC-557 from Los Angeles,CA (USA) to Vancouver,BC (Canada) with 103 people on board, was departing from Los Angeles' runway 25R when the crew noticed during rotation for takeoff that the aircraft was slightly nose heavy. The aircraft climbed out, the crew subsequently verified the load sheet and found out, that all cargo had been loaded into the forward cargo hold, which showed the actual CG 5.8% (in relation to MAC) forward of the computed takeoff CG. The crew continued the flight to Vancouver without further incident.
