Section IV - FLIGHT PLANNING DATA
Part 2 - ZERO FUEL WEIGHT
Data for this part is obtained from Section 6 (Weight and Balance) of the Airplane Flight Manual.
Operating Weight
A typical Operating Weight is defined in the Weight and Balance section of the AFM and consists of the
Basic Weight stated at the beginning of the Weight and CG Schedule plus the following items:
All fluids
Lifejackets and dinghies (if carried)
Food and Drink
Passenger Service items
Crew with Manuals and Baggage
The typical Operating Weight corrected for any known variations to the above items may be
16,100 lb.
Passengers
The standard weight allowance is 170 lb per passenger.
4 x 170 =
680 lb
Baggage weight may be weighed or estimated=
120 lb
Zero Fuel Weight, the sum of Operating Weight, Passengers and baggage =
16,900 lb. This is less than
the Maximum Zero Fuel Weight of 18,450 lb already obtained from the AFM.
The FMS may be used to calculate the Zero Fuel Weight, using the procedure given below:
1. Select the FUEL page 1 which is the fuel and weight entry page. This will display the EMPTY WT
used for the last flight.
2. Enter number of passengers at the PAX line and the baggage weight at the CARGO line.
3. The ZERO FUEL WEIGHT (ZFW) is automatically calculated based on these three prior entries.
Part 2 of the FUEL LOADING PLAN may now be completed.
