Pay Load calculations

MTOW

BOW

= Max. take off wt.

= Max Landing Wt.
= Max. Zero Fuel Wt. (Empty wt of a/c+ max payload)
= Basic Empty Wt. (Empty wt of a/c)
= Basic Wt+ Galley & equipment. (a/c wt less fuel & payload)

To calculate payload payload using limitations of MTOW MLW & BOW.

The lowest of the above three is actual take off wt.

e.g.,
MTOW
= 41000 kg
MZFW
= 30000 kg
A/c wt less fuel & payload(BOW) = 23000 kg
Ground Speed
= 450 kts
Distance
= 2025 Nms
Fuel Consumption
= 2000 kg/hr
Fuel Reserve
= 2500 kg
MLW
= 33000 kg
Calculate Max payload?
Sol: Fuel Required (Burn off Fuel) = 2025/450 = 4.5 * 2000kg

Burn off 9000
42000

MZFW

41500

Actual Take off Wt = 41000 kg

Payload = 41000-( 23000+ 11500) = 6500 kg Ans

= 9000kg
= 2500kg
= 11500kg
