Limiting Weights

Consecutive steps will become available after you provide all necessary data.
DOW
Select configuration options to determine Dry Operating Weight.
Fuel
Enter fuel information.
Pax
Enter information on passengers numbers, their seating and choose pax weight configuration regarding type of flight.
If more than one passenger class is available for the given aircraft type, switch between the classes using tabs and enter number of passengers traveling in each of them.
The number of passengers can influence the maximum number of seats available in the aircraft as some airlines block one extra seat to improve the comfort of travel of first-class passengers.
Load planning
It is mandatory to provide both total weight of the baggage and number of pieces. Average piece weight is computed and used for load distribution.
If there are some items which require to be handled separately due to their irregular shape or weight, they must be specified using the split function, they are then extracted from the total of baggage and a different average weight is used to calculate their influence on trim.
