What is the empty weight of an airplane and what does it consist of?
There are three "common" weights used in commercial aviation. The first is Empty Weight which is the weight of the aircraft as it comes from the manufacturer. To this weight, the operator adds the weight of its normal equipment such as galley equipment, safety equipment, fluids (oil, hydraulic fluid, unusable fuel, water, etc.), and normal crew to come up with a Basic Operating Weight. The BOW is often averaged for the fleet and that figure is what is used in calculating the Take Off Weight for each flight. The TOW is the BOW plus fuel, passengers, cargo, and any extra equipment needed on that particular flight.
