Traffic Load
 

Hello all,

i need a help because i lost a part of my notes for mass and balance :ugh:
can somebody tell me how to obtain,calculate the traffic load plz?

thanks you

Traffic load is all passengers, baggage, mail and freight. Basically anything that travels in the cabin or hold, that isn't operationally essential (ie, crew and galley fittings etc).

thanks
 

thanks you very much!

Came across this site http://www.wiljam.com/Wiljam%20compl...%20Balance.pdf

Notes aren't great but better than you have (nothing)

Hi there,

Got JAA's on Monday so I'll chip in.

In addition to what Maude Charlee posted which is your actual traffic load, your Allowed Traffic Load = Proposed Take-Off Mass - Dry Operating Mass - Take Off Fuel

Proposed Take Off Mass is calculated based on the lowest of

MSLM (or Performance Limited Landing Mass) + Trip Fuel

MSTOM (or Performance Limited Take Off Mass)

MSZFM + Take Off Fuel

Hope this helps further,

"Payload" was always a better term than "Traffic Load". Described where the money came from!
