Hello, i am studying the cargo aircraft and was experimenting with the airbus a32x p2f models. The a321 p2f for example has a cargo weight limit of 27000kg, but on test flights it gives me a limit of 220 units. That equals the main cargo deck it seems. Aren’t the other decks used? I would expect a capacity of 270 units. Can anyone explain, or is this a bug?
Thanks,
Part of that payload is tare weight for the containers or pallets. I’ve had a bit of a look at the 321FAM as late and the freighters will have some additional tweaking when they get updated to the 1.5 Performance Profile. I just want to collect a bit more information on them before implementation.
Okay, thank you for the quick reply. The boeing family (eg 737) does have a better match between max weight and cargo units.
