Michael, I just did my test flight from KJAX to KMIA under these conditions. First I did not touch the payload of my 57, because it is perfect as is.
When I did my preflight in the FMC, I keyed in a CG of 39% Then I pulled my genuine flight manual to set my stab trim, at my weight of 160.0 , 39% CG is 2.0. I set it for 25% - roughly where I fly. at 3.5. The take off was normal at V2. In flight my angle of attack was normal- under 2 deg. I landed on RW 9, in a light crosswing. Vref30 was 118kts. I added 2kts for Vref30 120. Over the treshold, 2 deg of nose up. After touch down, a good delay of 3 sec and the nose wheel was lightly down. Like it is always. The 39% does not do anything except to show the aircraft pop up with a rear CG. The 57 flies with the weight & balance of the aircraft.cfg. not with the FMC number. If the 39 was active , my airplane would have taken off at 100kts with a stab trim at 3.5 instead of the required 2.0 at a 39% CG< It is a game Michael, not RW, but honest CS does a great job. This little flight now. Real weather. some IFR patches, Miami open but clouds over me. A little turbulence close to the clouds. Pretty good. To get the weather, I look out my windows! :) Raymond Boeing or nothing KFLL South Florida |
