摘要： A method and system for automating airline procedures, used is surveying passenger and checked baggage weights. A fully loaded aircraft is automatically weighed. A processing means subtracts weight values, including: aircraft OEW, fuel-weight, crew-weights, catering-weight, and cargo-weights; leaving only total passenger and checked baggage weights remaining. Opposing algorithms are applied to segregate total passenger weight from the total checked baggage weight; and each respective total weight is further divided by the known number of passengers to determine the average passenger weight, and the known number of checked bags to determine the average checked bag weight. Repeating these procedures for numerous flights, increases frequency of the automated survey process to a daily accumulation, to further refine to more precise average passenger weight and checked baggage weight; categorized by the day of the year, time of day, size of aircraft; and departure vs. destination cities.

摘要： A method for validating or invalidating the computed weight of an aircraft, where the computed weight of the aircraft is determined by compiling various weight assumptions added to a known empty weight of the aircraft. The method measures the aircraft center of gravity, determines the percentage of computed weight supported by the combined main landing gear struts, and using a database such as a look-up table to validate if the percentage of computed weight is determined within a reasonable range to the measured load on the combined main landing gear struts. Sensors are attached to the landing gear struts, so to measure and monitor aircraft loads and center of gravity without measuring the aircraft weight.

摘要： A method of establishing a justification basis to Aircraft Regulatory Authorities, to allow a regulated aircraft to operate at increased maximum weight limitations, through the statistical identification of non-recognized weight errors being allowed in today's aircraft weight determination methods, with the recovery and utilization of the non-recognized weight errors to increase weight limitations through a Regulatory Authority finding of an Equivalent Level of Safety. A system for use in measuring aircraft weight and center of gravity, providing a method to reveal non-recognized weight errors. Sensors are attached to the landing gear struts, so to periodically and randomly measure and monitor aircraft weight and center of gravity.

摘要： An aircraft operation method of providing weight and center of gravity information is used to dispatch the aircraft. The aircraft has telescoping landing gear struts and strut seals that interfere with the free movement of the strut. An event trigger signaling departure is detected from aircraft operations at a loading area. Internal strut pressure is measured and recorded upon detection for a period of time as the aircraft moves away. The recorded pressure measurements are transmitted to a first off-aircraft computer, which determines the total weight and center of gravity of the aircraft and provides the information to an operator of the aircraft.

摘要： The method obtaining a change to approved weight limits of a regulated aircraft type comprises the steps of determining a difference between a first maximum takeoff weight limit and a second maximum takeoff weight limit and, using the difference between the first maximum takeoff weight limit and the second maximum takeoff weight limit, identifying the second maximum takeoff weight difference as a percentage of the first maximum weight limit. In other embodiments, a second maximum landing weight limit, a second maximum takeoff weight limit, a second zero-fuel weight limit, and a second maximum ramp weight limit, are each identified as a percentage of the first maximum takeoff weight limit.
