AC40-LP Application Note: Weighing Loaded and Unloaded Aircraft For Flight Testing
Category: Aviation
October 3, 2016
Airframe manufacturers conduct weight and balance testing that exceeds typical requirements that MROs and commercial aircraft operators use in their operations. In this example, SAAB AB performed weighing of aircraft prior to and during flight test campaigns, taking advantage of the wide range of capabilities Intercomp platform scales offer in commercially available scales
Though most weighing occurs in a de-fueled, empty state, this example of aircraft weighing required gathering data within the full weight span during flight tests. Ranging from Maximum Take Off Weight (MTOW) to Basic Empty Weight (BEW), SAAB had specific criteria that their aircraft platform scales needed to meet for these tests. Intercomp’s fully electronic platform scale technology was chosen to enable these test weighings.
