How does an airline determine the weight / balance of a full aircraft?
Tare weight+fuel carried weight and passenger and cargo or only cargo weights are added including crew.CG with passengers is usually well in limits as they sit in seats which are degined to cater cg limits for and aft.Cargo is placed by weight in position and lashed.Consideration are taken CG shifting by virtue of fuel consumption.A aircraft has to take off only with CG limits it is designed.Limits for and aft both are unsafe.
