Based on the following data, what is the maximum Traffic Load allowed?
Maximum Structural Take-Off Mass: 7250 kg
Performance Limited Take-Off Mass: 6840 kg
Performance Limited Landing Mass: 6300 kg
Dry Operating Mass: 3640 kg
Crew and operational equipment: 410 kg
Take-Off Fuel: 950 kg
Trip Fuel: 420 kg
Traffic Load (TL). The total mass of passengers, baggage and cargo, including any ’non-revenue’ load.
- Traffic Load = Maximum Allowed TOM - OM
(1) Determine the maximum allowed Take-off Mass. It is the lowest of:
- Maximum Structural Take-Off Mass: 7250 kg
- Performance-Limited Take-off Mass: 6840 kg
- Performance-Limited Landing Mass + Trip fuel (as trip fuel will be consumed during the flight) = 6300 kg + 420 kg = 6720 kg
(2) Calcumate Operating Mass (OM):
OM = DOM + Take-off Fuel = 3640 kg + 950 kg = 4590 kg
Allowed Traffic Load = 6720 kg - 4590 kg = 2130 kg
