They are only called Weight and Balance forms by common usage
- certainly Euroland (gawd blessit) changed sometime around 2000 and although it is more correct I only talk now of 'DOW' and 'MTOW' because I get vacant stares when I refer to 'MTOM' etc. You will not get an Eu-OPS licence if you talk of weight in the exam, I fear.
"Grocer, old chap - a Newton of bananas please" just does not sound right...................
Of course, Newtons for 'weight' are only relevant to those wot weigh ('mass'????) things in kg.
NB In avoirdupois, a pound is now considered to be a two-part measurement pounds-weight and pounds-mass.
This is a weighty topic and could amass a few posts I feel.
