The Danish Way
Some aircraft are operated on standard load plans, which alleviates the need to recalculate Cof G for every take off, subject to certain conditions being met.
This is probably the case with the S92 in Denmark and it is very possibly a condition of the standard load plan that loading takes place from the front.
The alternative would be to calculate the Cof G before every take off resulting most likely in.... yes you guessed it, the HLO being instructed to move a precise number of passengers from the rear rows to the front of the aircraft.
(Imagine the delay and distraction and confusion in the cabin on an average shuttle program)
Let's focus on keeping the thing out of the water in the first place...
