From the (english) BEA report http://www.bea.aero/docspa/2009/f-cp...90601e1.en.pdf

1.6.3 Weight and balance
The aircraft left the gate with a calculated weight of 233,257 kg. The estimated takeoff weight
was 232,757 kg (11), for a maximum authorised takeoff weight of 233 t. This takeoff weight
broke down as follows:
• empty weight in operating condition: 126,010 kg,
• passenger weight: 17,615 kg (126 men, 82 women, 7 children and one baby (12)),
• weight in cargo compartment (freight and luggage): 18,732 kg,
• fuel weight: 70,400 kg.
(11) A quantity of 500 kg of fuel had been taken into account for taxiing between the ramp and takeoff
brake-release.
(14) Air France applies a standard weight of 91 kg for a man, 72 kg for a woman and 35 kg for a child,
which is compatible with the European regulations.

The on-board fuel weight corresponded to forecast trip fuel of 63,900 kg, route factor fuel of
1,460 kg, final reserve of 2,200 kg, fuel to alternate airport reserve of 1,900 kg and 940 kg
additional fuel. An LMC corrected the definitive load sheet to take into account one passenger
fewer without baggage.
The balance corresponding to the aircraft’s takeoff weight and given on the definitive load
sheet (after LMC) was 23.3% of the MAC, for a forward limit of 22.7% and an aft limit of
36.2% at takeoff.
On the basis of the operational flight plan, it is possible to estimate the trip fuel at 27.8 t after
a flying time of 3 h 41 min (13), the aircraft would then have had an estimated weight of 205 t
and balance comprised between 37.3% and 37.8 % (14), which is within the limits of the operating
envelope (Operating Manual TU page 12.28.10.9).
