RUN WEIGHT

Product catalog summary

Introduction to RunweightTM System
RunweightTM is an innovative Weights and Balances System designed for integration into airport runways or airline maintenance facilities. It provides real-time, accurate weight and balance data for aircraft, including the Airbus A380, prior to take-off and landing. This system acts as a safety net, allowing flight crews to cross-check aircraft weight and balance data while in motion, thereby enhancing safety and reducing human error.

Importance in Modern Aviation
The need for RunweightTM arises from historical data indicating that human error in calculating take-off performance parameters has contributed to aviation incidents. The system addresses this by providing a procedural cross-check, ensuring accurate data entry for critical parameters such as Total Overall Weight (TOW), Zero Fuel Weight (ZFW), and Take-off Reference Speeds (V speeds).

Technical Specifications
The RunweightTM system includes nine FORCE in motion weighing pads, each measuring 2m x 3m and capable of handling up to 150 tonnes. The total weighing area spans 18 meters, with a weighing range of up to 1350 tonnes per axle. The system operates with a precision of 1% in dynamic mode and 0.05% in static mode, across a temperature range of -20°C to +60°C.

Operational Benefits
By providing accurate weight data, RunweightTM helps prevent incidents such as tail strikes and crashes, ultimately saving lives. It offers a critical cross-checking mechanism for pilots and engineers, ensuring safer take-off and landing operations.

WHY IS RUNWEIGHT REQUIRED IN MODERN AVIATION? TM In 2014 the Transport Safety Bureau tabled its independent investigation into the occurrence of aviation take-off incidents both in Australia and Internationally that occurred between 1989 and 2009. The report identified RISK CONTROL relative to human error involving incorrect take-off performance parameter calculations methods used as a contributing factor behind take-off incidents / accidents. The report identified that a single solution for minimising or eliminating these errors was missing and made recommendations, including the need for a...
