Since Europe is on the metric system, my guess would be kg.

yes off course ;) but is it, thought maybee that its KG but since boing building them they deliver they with standard lbs/feet any how or do companyes in europe get ther planes deliverd with KG/Meter gages.....

Maybe I'm wrong, I'm not an expert, but I guess all european airlines use KG because it's the standard European unit of measurement for weight.All except UK, like USA, the unit for weight are Lbs. This is what I think smile.png

aha thx mate for the information ;) No wounder the ATC is nervous every time they se me coming ;)

Confirm that in Europe it is used KG instead of Lbs (just check a FCOM official manual of an european airline). Anyway, I prefer to use Lbs...

KG and feet in Europe. Some former eastern-block countries (Poland, Czech republic, Russia etc) use meters. Very confusing if you've got to fly into such a country and have to read the charts! (If you don't have the standardized Jeppesen plates, that is)

IIRC we use Feet in Czech rep, so does Poland. Only Russia use metres.
