Is the ZFW correct?

Recommended Posts

I know this will probably sound like a petty detail, but in looking at the FMC, I see the ZFW as 121.8, which, to my understanding, is incorrect. Am I correct in interpreting this as 121,800 lbs?

If so, I believe that the 737-800 models H thru T and the X have a ZFW of 136,000 lbs and the U & Y have a ZFW of 138,300 lbs.

The ZFW is the zero fuel weight... it‘s the summery of the airplane, the passengers, their luggage, a dog, some post, a coffin and several bottles of tomato juice. Basically the take off weight without the usable fuel. 

It changes from flight to flight.
