The patent application describes an aircraft system which provides the pilot with a continuous cockpit readout of the weight and center of gravity of an aircraft carrying an externally lifted load together with the impact on aircraft controllability of load shifts and fuel burnoff, by transmitting input signals from load cells installed in the lifting hook system, input signals from a fuel totalizer, and input data from a system keyboard to a system computer.
