Checked baggage/max landing weight

Recommended Posts

I come back to an earlier post.
The fuel planner uses a model for checked baggage that calculates an average of 25 kg per head in the cargo bay.

 

It works with all the models, except the A320.

There the maximum baggage that a passenger could check on average is only about 16,7 kgs

Iif one exceeds that number, the maximum landing weight becomes to big if the plane is full with the max number of pax.

 

The maximum cargo before exceeding the maximum landing weight, according to the model in the fuelplanner is
A 318 26.6 kgs

A319  36,4 kgs

A321 27,6 kgs

 

So these planes would have room for some additional cargo.

 

With due respect, I find it peculiar, that the A320 should have such a small capacity for cargo (i.e. mostly checked baggage).
