In the days when I used to dial in my weight (to get the rocket thrust line through the actual CG of the man seat combination) it was your weight ready to get in.

It may have changed - but difficult to see how/why unless the CG range that can be tolerated on the seat concerned is so great that it can cope with the variation due to the type of AEA in use. I suppose it is possible that the AEA weight is today accepted as a constant in which case you would still get a considerable variation in man/seat combination when considering L plus C compared with H plus C
