Hi,
Towteambase - I've had APU inop many times, however never APU removed not sure if you can
John & Keith - I am thinking about it from a line Capt's point of view, say you had the apu removed for whatever reason, and the ground staff hand you a loadsheet with the regular BW and BI used. With regards to weight , you are now lighter than loadsheet, ( some would say more conservative when calculating performance ) however with regards to trim, the CG would shift quite a bit, which would have adverse effect on rotation if the THS was not correctly set ( results from correct TO GW C of G )
So how would I correct this weight and trim on loadsheet, or verify everything if a corrected loadsheet was handed to me ?
Thanks
