Passengers may be weighed before boarding
Aviation News, International Desk:
There is no easy way to maintain the safe balance of an aircraft in terms of passenger weight.
The FAA has suggested that airlines may weigh their passengers to get more accurate calculations. But what should it be?
According to the Federal Aviation Administration, operating an overloaded aircraft requires more power and greater fuel consumption.
It further said that overloaded flights severely damage the stability and controllability of the aircraft.
