The cabin equipment weight has a direct impa
9、ct on the payload of the aircraft, operation cost and revenue of the airlines. Due to the number of aircraft seats, seats are one of the major weight drivers in the cabin. At this time a lot of seat weights are used without any clear definition, e.g. allowable max. weight, certified weight, defined
10、weight. For the definition of each customer specific cabin definition it is important to get comparable seat weights. Aircraft seats are very different with regard to seat envelope dimensions and integrated features and options. For a weight calculation and product comparison it is very helpful to g
11、et comparable weight information based on a standard weight. The aim of this standard is to define a clear definition for the different weight information and a baseline for a seat weight calculation to get comparable seat weights for set brochures and marketing reasons. 2 Normative references The f

31、the pre-design phase according to the specific customer request including customer specific trim and finish and all accessories. e.g. IFE, seat actuation, reading lights, seat belts etc. (but without any life vests). In general for a detailed weight list the component break down as listed in 4.2 can
32、 be used.

33、s/models released for manufacturing during the design phase according to the specific customer request including customer specific trim and finish and all accessories. e.g. IFE, seat actuation, reading lights, seat belts etc. (but without any life vests). In general for a detailed weight list the co
34、mponent break down as listed in 4.2 can be used.

35、omer request including customer specific trim and finish and all accessories. e.g. IFE, seat actuation, reading lights etc. In general for a detailed weight list the component break down as listed in 4.2 can be used. Consider the seat as ready for aircraft installation. The weight will be finally ch
36、ecked during first article inspection (FAI). The seat unit will be weighed empty as delivered to the OEM fully equipped with seat belts, cushions, dress covers, IFE but without any life vest and other weight of contents for any stowage compartments or literature pockets.
