Narrative:
On takeoff roll from abq, the aircraft wanted to rotate before V1. Upon arrival at mci, I had the freight downloaded and weighed. The can in bin #2 was found to weigh 2230 pounds rather than 4450 pounds as stated on the load sheet. The cans that were listed in bins #8, #9, and #10, were found in bins #10, #11, and #12. With the aircraft loaded this way, the actual center of gravity was 40.71% with the limiting center of gravity at 38.7%. The aircraft was reloaded correctly with no further incident. At the next layover point, I wrote an irregularity report to the director of operations, and notified the safety officer.
Original NASA ASRS Text
Title: B727 FREIGHTER ALMOST ROTATES ITSELF PRIOR TO V1 SPD AT ABQ. PIC CONTINUES TKOF AND RUNS AN ACFT LOAD CHK AFTER LNDG AT MCI. ACFT HAD BEEN IMPROPERLY LOADED WITH SOME ERRONEOUS WTS NOTED.
Narrative: ON TKOF ROLL FROM ABQ, THE ACFT WANTED TO ROTATE BEFORE V1. UPON ARR AT MCI, I HAD THE FREIGHT DOWNLOADED AND WEIGHED. THE CAN IN BIN #2 WAS FOUND TO WEIGH 2230 LBS RATHER THAN 4450 LBS AS STATED ON THE LOAD SHEET. THE CANS THAT WERE LISTED IN BINS #8, #9, AND #10, WERE FOUND IN BINS #10, #11, AND #12. WITH THE ACFT LOADED THIS WAY, THE ACTUAL CTR OF GRAVITY WAS 40.71% WITH THE LIMITING CTR OF GRAVITY AT 38.7%. THE ACFT WAS RELOADED CORRECTLY WITH NO FURTHER INCIDENT. AT THE NEXT LAYOVER POINT, I WROTE AN IRREGULARITY RPT TO THE DIRECTOR OF OPS, AND NOTIFIED THE SAFETY OFFICER.
