In the 200/300 (i.e without raked wingtips) there should be a de-fault cruise CG and I'm not aware of any reason to change it.

We get it from dispatch and it never matches the default value.

Greetings
Dispatch gets it from engineering, and engineering gets it from downlinked data where Cruise CG features, I believe that it is needed by the FMS to compute Max and Optimum, taking into account the drag generated by the stabilizer.

Are you guys eveny REMOTELY AWARE of the implications that the CG value has on takeoff,landing and most of all on cruise.....???
Omgg...

Are you guys talking about cruise CG, or T/Off CG?

In our ops, %mac T/O is entered in the T/O ref page for each departure. CRUISE C/G is a default value on the Vnav Cruise page. It is usually left as is, except on the 300ER and 200LR where it is changed to a different (fixed) value due to an Aerodynamic anomoly with the raked wingtips.

I've flown Boeings for a few companies, and have never had an operation where cruise CG was supplied as part of pre-deparure information.
