If you had been you probably would have been watching my butt rather than me loading anyway






As been said before, the ideal weight is one that ensures the manifest adds up to the exact mtow, or even mrw.

This is of course a figure that varies, often by significant amounts from day to day..

Chuck, sounds like the same o-o-old m-a-a-ate who used to select gear up on in the 402's on the take off roll. Looked real sexy until he experienced a little sink just after lift off on one occasion ..... and got bannished back to Islanders for his effort at 402 reducing prop diameter!
