Aircraft Mass Definitions (Zero Fuel Mass, Operating Mass..) | ATPL Theory - Mass & Balance

An important part of pre-flight preparation is checking that the mass of the aircraft is within specified limits. Is the plane below it's maximum takeoff & landing mass? How much traffic load can be carried? It's essential to be able to answer these questions as a pilot, but in order to do that knowledge about all the different aircraft masses and their definitions is important. Do you know what the dry operating mass, variable load and traffic load are? Find out about them and many more in this video! Thanks for watching, and if you have any feedback or questions, just let me know!
