AMW 5481 was caused by improper rigging of the elevator/trim system performed by contract (outsourced) maintenance. They were within the CG envelope using approved weights. It was the misrigging that improperly moved the aft CG limit forward just enough to make the A/C's actual CG too far aft to fly.
I am with you 100%. I can't believe no one else said something about the OP using them in comparison with this topic. That was probably one of the most tragic accidents in that the crew and pax died only a few seconds after being airborne, the CA and FO didn't even know what was happening. Very very sad, I heard that mechanic was never fired.
