Does Anyone Still Teach the Fundamentals of Weight and Balance anymore?
In another place, I have been looking at the building of a generic Weight and Balance System and found my very long ago training useful.
This has made me wonder if any company today gives its staff anything like the training I received 30+ years ago.
For example starting with the Basic Empty Weight and Index of the Aircraft and literally adding the Passenger Seats by weight and index to create the required configuration and adding in the varius other elements by weight and index, then Crew, Catering,, Fuel, etc. Finally completing the Loadsheet by using supplied Passenger, Baggage and Cargo information using Hold Mean Indexes and Passengers by Row.
I suspect not, but I just had to ask!
