B744 Weight and Balance
I recently flew a sector where we ran short of fuel, our contingency was gone by 2/3 of the sector. No adverse winds, offtrack excursions or lower altitudes and the only possible explanation was that the aircraft was overloaded.
I'm curious if other 744 drivers have a weight and balance system installed that can check the weight on departure.
Apparently a system is built into the aircraft, it's a matter of paying for software and certification.
Thanks.
