While being technically correct (if he says so), what difference does it
make? Are you going to fly with the gear down to keep the CG in the same
place that you used to figure your W&B?

You calculate balance for both gear down and gear up for both takeoff
and landing loading. All four must be within the envelope or you don't go.



Really? In the C-210 if I couldn't get the doors closed we wouldn't go, but I
don't recall any other occasions. G

Seriously, I've never been required to do more than one W&B for any flight I've
ever made, and I don't recall that the gear position was ever even considered.
I've never failed a written test or check ride either, including regular part
135 rides.
