Investigators have determined that the shipping company didn't weigh the fully loaded pallets of seafood, providing the airline instead with an estimate based on the average weight of each box of seafood. That total wouldn't have included the weight of the wooden pallets carrying the seafood or other materials used in packing.
It's starting to sound more like an incorrect configuration or thrust setting based on a weight that was far off what it should have been. TSB is also saying that the plane was about 25 knots (55 km an hour) slower than it needed to be.
Reports say the max payload for the -200 is 60,000 kg - can you guys confirm this?
They may have been overweight as they had tractors and other stuff,
as well as a reported 53,000 kg of seafood (which is now a low figure). They don't say how much it actually weighed but it must be a significant amount - especially since the pallets and packing materials weren't counted.
