Load assumptions pax & bags
 

HI,

I am trying to back-calculate some stuff from the answer (so to speak)

(A) WEIGHT I am deliberately being a bit conservative
(1) average male pax = 80 Kg
(2) average bags = 1 per pax = 20 Kg
(3) average carryon per pax = 5 kgs
so all up weight per pax as 105 Kg

(B) average bags per standard LD baggage container

I am a bit stuck on this one I seem to recall 44 bags per LDC but I'm danged if I can remember

Any ideas, is there such a thing as a "standard assumption" anymore?

Cheers

Hmmm...

well after a lot more goggling (goggle hates me) I think I may not be sufficiently conservative

for those of you interested see:

https://www.easa.europa.eu/rulemakin...95%20Final.pdf

where is suggests
Male 94 Kg including carryon
Female 75 Kg including carryon
Average distribution 88 Kg
Baggage 17 Kg

and after a huge amount of goggling seem bags per LDC is in range 45-50.
and 1.8bags per pax

So it looks like I am going to use
Pax (incl carryon) 94 Kg
Bags 17 Kg
LDC = 44 bags
Bags per pax 1.8

hey ho

The average bags per LDC might be 45-50 in Europe and North America for flights operating in those areas but here in the GCC countries you can drop that to 35 to 40 as the bag sizes are considerably larger with all the migrant workers and families travelling through.

Average pax weights are the same even though many of the pax from India and Philipinnes are considerably lighter than their western equivalents.

Most used standard weights, European airlines :
- Male, 84kg
- Female, 69kg
- Adult, 76kg
- Child, 35kg
- Infant, 0kg
All include carry-on bags

Standard baggage weight for previsional calculations, Europe, 13kg

Bags per ULD, depends on the type of ULD. Standard Euro flight, British Airways, 35-45 pieces per AKH. On long-haul ops, AKE ULD, around 30-35 pieces standard.

What's this for?
