Calculating load percentage with Connect API

ThirdParty

Hi …

I’m trying to reliably calculate the same load percentage that IF displays in app using the Connect API. Can anyone help me identify the correct states to use – and what formula to apply to those values – to derive the same percentage that IF is showing?

Thanks.

Here’s a formula that I’ve found:

Load percentage (%) = (totalweight - emptyweight) / (mtow - emptyweight) * 100

where

  • totalweight is from state aircraft/0/systems/load/total_weight,
  • emptyweight is the weight of the aircraft with no fuel, passengers or cargo.
  • mtow is from state aircraft/0/configuration/max_takeoff_weight
