SNIP: Of course you want to be *really* sure that you don't load a 47 tail heavy. That makes for a very short, very interesting flight :-) Al Minyard While I was working at Miami IAP there were two 'CG' crashes - one was a D18 loaded tail heavy - nosed up on reaching flying speed, stalled and nosed down (fatally) shortly there after. Another was a DC8 freighter full of blooded cattle headed for South America. CG so far forward it couldn't rotate; too far down to stop on pavement, ended up in a big wide drainage ditch. Killed a couple of the crew; all the cattle had to be killed because of injuries. Just two out of a long long sad list of such events. Walt BJ |
