Most of me is in IL but my hearts in Alaska
Weight and balance seems like such an important issue I don’t understand why airports don’t have scales.

It wouldn’t really be any big deal to have a two section scale that would weigh the front and rear and display the weight for each.
Better yet a projected laser line Could display the exact location on the plane.
None of this is particularly expensive or technicallogically challenging.
