PAX weight?

[Crash]

I'm wondering if there is a Weight and Balance Load Manager included with the Saab 340 A, and if there isn't what would be a reasonable PAX weight?

Or does PAX weight figure into the FMS at all, and the 230 pounds set over at simBrief, is fine.

Thanks,

Crash

We do not have an FMS in our aircraft. Are you confusing ours with Carenado? This one is ours: https://www.x-aviation.com/catalog/product_info.php/take-command-saab-340a-p-100

In the USA, pax weights are seasonal. In the summer, each passenger is considered 190 lbs. In the winter time, 195 lbs.

I stand corrected, I meant to say the Garmin 530...So, as far as the Garmin is concerned, is pax weight a factor, as I don't believe it takes into account pax weight...

No, it does not. You must calculate weights on your own.

you may consider this third party app for weight and balance, very nice!

Thanks for sharing mmerelles.

Is it just a one time fee at the time of purchase?

and

By chance are you using a simBrief custom a/c profile? And if you are, does it (the output from simBrief,) match iGo's weights and other numbers?

Thx

I can vouch for the app....it is excellent. A one time purchase. It can do fuel and weight planning as well as load the aircraft directly from the app.
