Froggy Pilot Quote: "With all my respect, I agree that any pilot is supposed to do CG calculation prior to fly. But please don't try to convince me that you always T/O with your CG calculation done..."
I can assure you Froggy Pilot that for Every T/O we do a C of G calculation prior to departure in order to confirm the exact C of G location with the S76A+ fleet we operate. That can sometimes be 10 to 15 sectors on one trip. It is easily achieved by use of a handheld computer carried onboard.
Generally the C of G is not an issue as most of the fleet have an aft C of G so if you load from the front pax row back it is usually no problem. However we do operate one or two which have a very forward C of G. The result being you can have full fuel and fly single pilot and still be in C of G. Not possible with our other machines.
Happy calculations!
