System is described which can, besides accurately measuring and displaying loaded aircraft's take-off gross weight and center of gravity (CG) in digital form in cockpit or load-station, provide in-flight weight and CG determination as well by accepting fuel flow meter readouts; called STAN (summed total and nosegear); it can also, through incorporation of computer technology, take inputs from engines, barometric altimeter, temperature gages, and wind speed, airspeed and ground speed indicators, etc, and provide accurate "Go - No Go" system for pilot to provide him with rotation velocity point at which he must become airborne or abort flight.
