The Development of a Commercial Aircraft Passenger Weight Measurement System

Accurate passenger weight measurement is crucial for commercial aviation to ensure proper weight distribution and optimal fuel planning. Current practices often rely on estimated or assumed standard passenger weights, leading to potential inaccuracies in weight management and increased operational costs. This study develops a passenger weight measurement system for commercial aircraft load sheets, enabling precise data collection during the flight check-in process. Findings demonstrate that the system significantly enhances the accuracy of passenger weight data, improving weight and fuel management efficiency. This system has the potential to enhance the overall safety and cost-effectiveness of commercial flight operations.
