Paper
Abstract
The Airline Section of the Society of Aeronautical Weight Engineers has undertaken a study to resolve compliance problems associated with the weight and balance portion of ATA Specification 100. It was agreed that changes to the existing specification are necessary to achieve a workable material between manufacturer’s ability to supply weight and balance data, and the data the airlines need to operate satisfactorily.
ATA Specification 100 Working Sub-Committee rewrote the complete weight and balance sections, which was submitted to nineteen North American scheduled airlines, twenty-two European, Nar and Middle East, Far East and African airlines who have been active in SAWE affairs, and the major commercial aircraft manufacturers for their comments and suggestions on the proposed rewriting.
The ATA Specification 100 Steering Committee has evaluated all comments and suggestions and incorporated them into this finalized report. This will be submitted to the Society’s Board of Directors for their approval and then forwarded to the Advisory Group of the Air Transport Association of America for their due consideration and disposition.
The Society has received full consent of the Air Transport Association and Aerospace Industries Association in making proposed revisions to the weight and balance portion of ATA Specification 100.
