Crew Weight given Takeoff Weight Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Crew Weight = Desired Takeoff Weight-Payload Carried-Fuel Weight to be Carried-Operating Empty Weight
W_c = DTW-PYL-FW-OEW
This formula uses 5 Variables

Variables Used

Crew Weight - (Measured in Kilogram) - Crew Weight is the weight of staff which are required for the functioning of the plane. It contains the weight of Pilots, flight engineer, navigation pilot and airplane staff to serve the passengers.
Desired Takeoff Weight - (Measured in Kilogram) - Desired Takeoff Weight (or mass) is the weight of the aircraft.
Payload Carried - (Measured in Kilogram) - Payload Carried (passengers and cargo) is the object or the entity which is being carried by an aircraft or a launch vehicle.
Fuel Weight to be Carried - (Measured in Kilogram) - Fuel Weight to be Carried is defined as the total mass of the fuel to be carried (usually includes reserve fuel).
Operating Empty Weight - (Measured in Kilogram) - Operating Empty Weight of the aircraft is the aircraft's weight without including passengers, baggage, or fuel.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Desired Takeoff Weight: 250000 Kilogram --> 250000 Kilogram No Conversion Required
Payload Carried: 12400 Kilogram --> 12400 Kilogram No Conversion Required
Fuel Weight to be Carried: 100000 Kilogram --> 100000 Kilogram No Conversion Required
Operating Empty Weight: 125000 Kilogram --> 125000 Kilogram No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

W_c = DTW-PYL-FW-OEW --> 250000-12400-100000-125000

Evaluating ... ...

W_c = 12600

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

12600 Kilogram --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

12600 Kilogram <-- Crew Weight

What is Crew Weight?

Crew Weight of aircraft is the weight of people who are responsible for the proper functioning of the plane, such as pilots, co-pilots, flight engineers, navigation engineers serving staff, etc.

How to Calculate Crew Weight given Takeoff Weight?

Crew Weight given Takeoff Weight calculator uses Crew Weight = Desired Takeoff Weight-Payload Carried-Fuel Weight to be Carried-Operating Empty Weight to calculate the Crew Weight, The Crew Weight given Takeoff Weight formula describes the weight of people who are responsible for the proper functioning of the plane, such as pilots, co-pilots, flight engineers, navigation engineers serving staff, etc. This formula calculates the crew weight given the aircraft's takeoff weight, considering the empty weight fraction (EWF). Crew Weight is denoted by W_c symbol.

How to calculate Crew Weight given Takeoff Weight using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Crew Weight given Takeoff Weight, enter Desired Takeoff Weight (DTW), Payload Carried (PYL), Fuel Weight to be Carried (FW) & Operating Empty Weight (OEW) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Crew Weight given Takeoff Weight calculation can be explained with given input values -> 127600 = 250000-12400-100000-125000.

FAQ

What is Crew Weight given Takeoff Weight?

The Crew Weight given Takeoff Weight formula describes the weight of people who are responsible for the proper functioning of the plane, such as pilots, co-pilots, flight engineers, navigation engineers serving staff, etc. This formula calculates the crew weight given the aircraft's takeoff weight, considering the empty weight fraction (EWF) and is represented as W_c = DTW-PYL-FW-OEW or Crew Weight = Desired Takeoff Weight-Payload Carried-Fuel Weight to be Carried-Operating Empty Weight. Desired Takeoff Weight (or mass) is the weight of the aircraft, Payload Carried (passengers and cargo) is the object or the entity which is being carried by an aircraft or a launch vehicle, Fuel Weight to be Carried is defined as the total mass of the fuel to be carried (usually includes reserve fuel) & Operating Empty Weight of the aircraft is the aircraft's weight without including passengers, baggage, or fuel.

How to calculate Crew Weight given Takeoff Weight?

The Crew Weight given Takeoff Weight formula describes the weight of people who are responsible for the proper functioning of the plane, such as pilots, co-pilots, flight engineers, navigation engineers serving staff, etc. This formula calculates the crew weight given the aircraft's takeoff weight, considering the empty weight fraction (EWF) is calculated using Crew Weight = Desired Takeoff Weight-Payload Carried-Fuel Weight to be Carried-Operating Empty Weight. To calculate Crew Weight given Takeoff Weight, you need Desired Takeoff Weight (DTW), Payload Carried (PYL), Fuel Weight to be Carried (FW) & Operating Empty Weight (OEW). With our tool, you need to enter the respective value for Desired Takeoff Weight, Payload Carried, Fuel Weight to be Carried & Operating Empty Weight and hit the calculate button. You can also select the units (if any) for Input(s) and the Output as well.
