University of Cranfield (students registered on EG3401 and EG2421)
Registration form required in order for students to participate in flight trials. EASA (European Aviation Safety Agency) rules require a robust system to ensure that the aircraft is not operated above its maximum take-off or landing weight and that the centre of gravity position is within safe limits. Gender-based standard weights are used for pre-flight allocation of students and fuel planning. Actual mass (weight) is used to determine the true aircraft weight and centre of gravity location for post-flight data analysis purposes.
