Fuel loading is now exclusively done via our EFB which has a great UI to see the status of fuel tanks and other options. [Guide Here](flypados3/dispatch.md#fuel-page).

In our development version we have introduced a new flight model paired with a new weight and balance payload method that incorporates seat rows and the correct center of gravity.

Please note the following:

- The cargo hold field now depicts either metric tons or metric pounds depending on the unit selected in the EFB Settings for aircraft configuration.
187+
- **Highly recommend** ensuring that you select the same weights (KGS or LBS) in the EFB and in simBrief's OFP/Airframe before importing to prevent any mismatch in values.

If you start your flight on the runway or in the air the loading process will only work if the Boarding Time [settings](flypados3/settings.md#sim-options) in the flyPad EFB are set to `Instant`. This is deliberate as simulating fueling or boarding and loading when starting from the runway does not make sense.

##### Loading Manually
225+
226+
It is possible to input these values manually to customize your passenger loading. Please note the following information when customizing your pax loading manually:
227+
228+
- To assign a value to a row (station) enter the amount into your scratchpad using the MCDU keyboard and press the relevant LSK next to the desired station.
229+
- When inputting pax into individual rows this only accounts for the passenger's weight (84 kg or 185 lbs per passenger). Baggage and additional freight needs to be added
230+
separately.
231+
- If inputting a value into the `TOTAL PAX` using LSK1L this will automatically distribute passengers based on an ideal CG.
232+
- The check-in baggage weight (20 kg or 44 lbs) is added to the cargo hold when using the `TOTAL PAX` field.
233+
- Once the above weights are accounted for you can input remaining weight (cargo weight) in a `X.X` format denoting either metric tons or thousands of pounds depending what
234+
the unit selected in the EFB Settings.
235+
- Cargo weight is limited to max capacity if it exceeds the cargo hold limits (9435 kg or 20800 lbs).
