Realistically loading the 747?

Recommended Posts

Hi all,Is there some kind of general rule that I should know about loading cargo, let's say I have 350 passengers, about how much weight should I put in the cargo holds as far as bags and other types of cargo?Thanks,Jeff

An average passenger weighs about 200 lbs. - this includes all the bags he/she carries. In the winter time I believe they raise this number to 220 lbs.Every airline is very different so there is no way of telling what additional cargo they carry.Michael J.http://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/for...argo_hauler.gifhttp://sales.hifisim.com/pub-download/asv6-banner-beta.jpg
