3.4.1.1.2. Cargo hold weight
Cargo hold weight can be biased due to unweighted cargo and/or unaccounted last minute changes.
3.4.1.1.3. Passenger and baggage weights
Errors on passenger weights are usually due to underestimations of both passenger and hand luggage weights. JAA and FAA have each published some material to define and regulate the estimation of passenger and baggage weights. The following reminds main statements extracted from the JAR-OPS and from the FAR.

BACKGROUND
JAR-OPS guidelines
The JAA has produced specific JAR-OPS requirements on passenger and baggage standard weights: JAR-OPS 1.620. This paragraph proposes that, for the purpose of calculating the weight of an aircraft, the total weights of passengers, their hand baggage and checked-in baggage entered on the load sheet shall be computed using either:
-Actual weighing just prior to boarding (if the flight should be identified as carrying excessive weights) or
-Standard weight values. Male/female passenger standard weights can be used alternatively to all-adult standard weights. Refer to tables below.
Type of flight Male Female Children (2~12 years old) All adult
All flights except holiday charters 88 kg 195 lb 70 kg 155 lb 35 kg 77 lb 84 kg 185 lb
Holiday charters 83 kg 183 lb 69 kg 152 lb 35 kg 77 lb 76 kg 168 lb
