Aircraft loading with pax and payload

[kuebelkiller]

Hello Dutch

At the moment I´m "developing" some load maps for my aircraft.
That´s almost working fine, unless there are a few things I need
to know:

- how are the pax and cargo masses separated from each other?
Some acft have different stations for cargo and pax. It´s good to
know, how the fcom differs between these stations for a correct
loading of the acft. Or isn´t he doing this? Is it calculated in that
way, that all masses are added together, and loaded in the
stations by there load priority?


- are the pax - masses (the peolpe and their hand-baggage itself)
included in the payload value, shown on loading with fcom?
That´s very important to know, when calculating the takeoff
data with tools like TOPCAT, because these need both inputs.
What are the masses used per pax?


Thanks for your help

The way it works right now is that for loading purposes weight is just weight, it doesn't distinguish between PAX and cargo but adds them together and distributes that total based on the load map criteria.
