under-estimate weight -> under-estimate fuel -> fuel exhaustion -> crash
While my armchair opinion is that ~1500kg mis-calculation of payload on a Boeing 737 is minor - this is one of those problems you should treat pretty seriously as it might have repercussions on other flights.
- seoaeu 6y agoYeah, they intentionally include a safety margin in the amount of fuel to bring. Doesn't make it OK just to miscalculate the payload weight and assume the margin will save you.
