CG in Takeoff Ref page of PM 737 CDU

[Peter Dowson]

I just tried your suggestion from above and got this display; "IPC:2EF8(FLT64)=0.2826" Would that be equal to 28.3% CG of the MAC?

No. 0.2826 means 0.2826%. Your "payload" must be spread pretty evenly, certainly much further back than mine.

Checking on the FS9 version of PMDG's 737-700 I have installed into FSX I get 24.3% with full tanks and a 10433kg payload at "station 1". If I move that payload to the last listed station I get a CG of -29.3%.

So, I guess you can get almost any value for CG depending on where you put your passengers and freight. Makes sense to me. What you now need to know is what are the safe limits of CG for the particular airport/runway and conditions.

BTW the same offset works on both FS9 and FSX, so that's another cross-check you can do, if you have both.
