Hi, just an aviation fanatic, don't have anything professionally to do with aviation (yet with any luck
)
Just a quick question with base training. I'd be very interested to know what kind of loads are the aircraft at for base training? I can't imagine that an empty aircraft and one full pax will feel the same- if I am wrong, than all the better. If they aren't empty, what kind of proportion of normal weight would they be at- for example, a 737 wouldn't need too much weight to bring it up to a certain proportion of it's average ZFW on the line, but I would imagine a 747 would need quite a lot to make up its weight- if that is done, what is normally put onto the aircraft to make it that heavy?
Thanks for your time.
