PASSENGER WEIGHT
Actual or average passenger weights may be used to compute
passenger loads.
Actual passenger weights should be used in case of flights carrying
large groups of passengers whose average weight obviously does not
conform with the normal standard weight such as athletic squads or
other groups which are smaller or larger than the local average. The
actual passenger weight may be either determined by scale weighing
of each passenger, or by asking each passenger their weight and
adding there to a predetermined constant to compensate the
handcarried articles and clothing.
According to AC 120-27E, the following standard average weights may
be adopted:
Summer Operation
Adult passenger (*) ...................................................... 190 lb
Male ............................................................................. 200 lb
Female ......................................................................... 179 lb
Children (age 2-12) ...................................................... 82 lb
Winter Operation
Adult passenger (*) ...................................................... 195 lb
Male ............................................................................. 205 lb
Female ......................................................................... 184 lb
Children (age 2-12) ...................................................... 87 lb
(*) Adult passenger weights are applicable only where the mix of male
and female passengers is 60% / 40% respectively.
NOTE: - All passengers weights, except children, include 16 lb of
carry-on baggage.
- Children under age 2 are considered "babies-in-arms" and
children over age 12 should be treated as adult passengers
for purposes of standard average weights.
