SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING A LOAD CAPABILITY

In a particular implementation, a method includes generating an initial weight estimate associated with an aircraft based on a reference operational empty weight (OEW) and at least one of a latitude or an altitude of the aircraft at a first location. The reference OEW is predetermined at a second lo...

Zusammenfassung:In a particular implementation, a method includes generating an initial weight estimate associated with an aircraft based on a reference operational empty weight (OEW) and at least one of a latitude or an altitude of the aircraft at a first location. The reference OEW is predetermined at a second location that is distinct from the first location. The method includes determining an additional load capability of the aircraft based on a difference between the initial weight estimate and the reference OEW. The method further includes generating an output that indicates the additional load capability.
