Contexto
While doing a hover check after picking up fire fighters at the bottom of a canyon, you realize that you are only 20 pounds under maximum gross weight. What you failed to realize is that they had stowed some of their heaviest gear in the baggage compartment , which shifted the CGs lightly behind the aft limits.
