Do you fly MD-80s ?
If so, can you tell me what type of loadsheet do you use?
We use a manual loadsheet utilizing the Adjusted Weight Index System.
Basically, every item such as empty weight, pax, fuel, bags, etc, has an adjusted numerical value. The last three digits in ZFW and TOW (shown in bold) numbers represent balance units to be plotted on a graph showing where the cg lies within the envelope.
For example:
Adjusted Weight Units
Basic Operating Weight: 83426.1
Pax: 15688.5
Fwd Cargo A: 0.0
Fwd Cargo B: 399.1
Mid Cargo C: 1298.4
Aft Cargo D: 1301.7
Zero Fuel Weight: 102113.8
Take Off Weight: 29503.4
Take Off Weight: 131617.2
We also have one cabin zone for passengers and free seating which curtails the envelope somewhat.
