It would be nice if that technology had been pushed into other aircraft. Some 727s had(have) this system, but it never gained universal appeal and I think it's stupid because you can easily mess up the chart interpolation, but if you keep the gauge working, there's no error to be made.petermcleland wrote:The Merchantman had a tailprop for loading and unloading...It also had a thing in the flightdeck called STAN which indicated where the CofG was by measuring the pressures in the gear oleos :flying:

Re: Strange 737 mishap at Malaga
I recall watching Il-62's (VC-10 copies). These have a wheel at the rear, which is deployed on an extendable leg. It is even used whilst taxiing :o .
That gives me a lot of confidence in the aeroplane
