Airbus A320 has a seating capacity of 162 passengers, and it is scheduled to operate a holiday charter Commercial Air transport flight within Europe. The loading manifest shows the following information:
Passengers An: 152 adults + 8 children + 5 infants (carried on the same seat of the parent)
Passenger baggage: 132 pieces
Freight: 1020 kg
If the operator uses standard masses for passengers (all adults) and checked baggage, the actual traffic load of this flight is…
Refer to figure.
Traffic Load is the total mass of passengers, baggage , cargo (or freight), including any non-revenue load.
For this question, advise the standard mass values of CAP 696, Section 1, page 5.
The A320 is an aircraft of 30 or more passenger capacity and it is scheduled to operate a holiday charter flight. So, each adult weighs 76 kg and each child 35 kg. Infants are not included in our calculations.
Thus, all passengers weigh: (152 adults x 76 kg) + (8 children x 35 kg) = 11 832 kg.
According to OPS regulations, standard mass values for baggage may be used if the aircraft has 20 or more seats and advise again the CAP 696, Section 1, page 5.
The standard baggage mass values for an aircraft with a passenger capacity of 20 seats or more which flies within The European Region is: 13 kg.
Thus, all passenger baggage weighs: 132 pieces x 13 kg = 1716 kg.
Finally, the Actual Traffic Load will be: Passengers + Baggage + Freight = 11 832 kg + 1716 kg + 1020 kg = 14 568 kg.
