Narrative:
Aircraft weight and balance was completed according to load chart received trim 6 degree tow 141576 using flaps 25. Departed runway 25, wind 3315g20. Runway light snow over ice. Braking action poor but on measuring device (fair to good) temperature 25 degree. On takeoff at V1 tried to rotate aircraft and nose did not come up. Considering runway condition and runway remaining I decided to hit highspeed trim and rotated aircraft. On climb out noted trim was at 10.5. Climb out was normal and trim was a 5.0 in cruise. En route to adk considerations were 1) WX 2) runway condition 3) dumping fuel 4) stability of aircraft 5) extending to anchorage. We were unable to determine how much weight was on aircraft, only that it was out of balance. WX at adk was VFR so elected to set up approach about 15 mi out on ILS and put aircraft on autoplt in landing confign to check stability. The aircraft was stable on approach carrying bug speed +20/30 KTS. Landing and rollout were smooth; nose gear came down normally. Requested adk agent to weigh load. Later found out actual load weight: position a: 4035#, position B: 4485#, and position B: 4850#; total weight: 13494#.

Title: ACFT LOADED PER LOADING CHART AND DISPATCH INSTRUCTIONS ON TKOF NOSE WOULD NOT COME UP RWY CONDITIONS SNOW OVER ICE BRAKING POOR CAPT USED HI SPEED TRIM TO GET NOSE UP AND TOOK OFF. OUT OF TRIM LNDG SUCCESSFUL USING EXTRA SPEED AND TRIM.
Narrative: ACFT WT AND BALANCE WAS COMPLETED ACCORDING TO LOAD CHART RECEIVED TRIM 6 DEG TOW 141576 USING FLAPS 25. DEPARTED RWY 25, WIND 3315G20. RWY LIGHT SNOW OVER ICE. BRAKING ACTION POOR BUT ON MEASURING DEVICE (FAIR TO GOOD) TEMP 25 DEG. ON TKOF AT V1 TRIED TO ROTATE ACFT AND NOSE DID NOT COME UP. CONSIDERING RWY CONDITION AND RWY REMAINING I DECIDED TO HIT HIGHSPEED TRIM AND ROTATED ACFT. ON CLBOUT NOTED TRIM WAS AT 10.5. CLBOUT WAS NORMAL AND TRIM WAS A 5.0 IN CRUISE. ENRTE TO ADK CONSIDERATIONS WERE 1) WX 2) RWY CONDITION 3) DUMPING FUEL 4) STABILITY OF ACFT 5) EXTENDING TO ANCHORAGE. WE WERE UNABLE TO DETERMINE HOW MUCH WT WAS ON ACFT, ONLY THAT IT WAS OUT OF BALANCE. WX AT ADK WAS VFR SO ELECTED TO SET UP APCH ABOUT 15 MI OUT ON ILS AND PUT ACFT ON AUTOPLT IN LNDG CONFIGN TO CHK STABILITY. THE ACFT WAS STABLE ON APCH CARRYING BUG SPD +20/30 KTS. LNDG AND ROLLOUT WERE SMOOTH; NOSE GEAR CAME DOWN NORMALLY. REQUESTED ADK AGENT TO WEIGH LOAD. LATER FOUND OUT ACTUAL LOAD WT: POS A: 4035#, POS B: 4485#, AND POS B: 4850#; TOTAL WT: 13494#.
