@whitequark @aeva @gsuberland what i'm more curious about is if they use counts of pax/bags or if they use some kind of sensors in the landing gear to get actual weight.
When you're flying little single engine stuff it's common to actually weigh everyone and bags to make sure you're not too unbalanced
@azonenberg @whitequark @aeva airlines and safety bodies rely on "Standard Passenger Weight" studies for the passenger part. baggage is weighed.
the figures include uncertainties.
@gsuberland @whitequark @aeva checked, i assume you mean? i've never had anyone weigh my carryon
@azonenberg @whitequark @aeva yeah checked. since carry on is restricted you can assume a fixed upper bound per passenger.
@gsuberland @azonenberg @aeva oh right they probably do it when you check it in
@whitequark @azonenberg @aeva yeah check in bag weight is how they measure that part
