MaxSez; W/B weight peramitors on all IF aircraft are calculated utilizing the metric system. Here’s some figures that may help you non-metric nationals when you calculate a Long Hall/ETOP’s approved Route:
A) Fuel weight, JP-5 (Jet Fuel) 6.8 Lbs per Gallon/0.81 liters… B) AvGas (100LL) 6.1 Lbs per Gallon/0.721 per liters
B) Cargo, convert & calculate invoice data.
C) Passengers(Pax’s):
TEST Question: Visitors here, convert Pax wt to Kilo’s, you’ll need the practice. (PaxWgt FAA standard 2005 may have recently Chgd. A little help from my friends pls)
@Tecnam2TA. MaxSez: Yes people are heavier! There’s more to this post than meets the eye. As a student Pilot you should extrapolate, the data will come in handy when you take your final student examined & face the FAA Guy.
@zbelle… @MaxSez: Checked bags are included in Pax calculation. From my last commercial flight I note the Majors are cracking down and requiring Pax to check bags that do not fit in the bag box at the gate, some are weighing bags as well. For the lines it revenue. Anticipate FAA intercession in the near term, based on recent W&B error incidants.
