在飛機起飛前,航空公司的簽派人員必需根據基本空重以及當班次
飛機實際負載狀況,計算該機之起飛總重及重心,並將此結果送交 該機
機長,以便機長據以設定水平安定面配平角度。本文首先介紹決 定基
本空重的方法,並以麥道公司之MD-11型機為例,介紹飛機上各種 負載,
以及三種計算飛機起飛總重及重心的方法。本論文提出結合 "飛機通
訊播報及報告系統"(ACARS)及"重量平衡控制系統"的模式, 使得飛機
起飛總重及重心等數據,能自動傳送至機長手中,簡化航空公 司作業流
程。

The dispatcher in the airlines must calculate the takeoff
gross weight (TOGW) and center of gravity (C.G.) based on
its basic empty weight and loading. As the result is sent to
the captain of this flight, it is used to determine the
horizontal stabilizer trim angle before takeoff. In this
thesis, firstly we introduce the method to determine the
aircraft basic empty weight, various loading data of MD-11
for example and three methods to calculate the takeoff gross
weight (TOGW) and Center of Gravity (C.G.). In this thesis,
we provide the model to transfer the data of TOGW and its C.
G. to the captain automatically and by combination of
"Aircraft Communication, Addressing and Reporting System
(ACARS)" and "Aircraft Weight and Balance Control System".
It will simplify the dispatching procedure of airlines.
