[PSUBS-MAILIST] weights

[T Novak via Personal_Submersibles]

>From my weight and balance experience flying Air Cadets we always weigh the individuals as they stand all up, including any backpacks, cameras, and water bottles.  Most people only have a vague idea how much they weigh, and the reality is that their weight changes daily, throughout the day, and depending on what they are wearing and carrying. During the PLRP I noticed that Nuytco had a bathroom scale on the crane barge and the DW2000 pilots were weighed each time they got into the sub. External weights were then added or removed as necessary.

Hi All,

When David and I were swapping out passengers in Gamma, the weights were getting off.  It is difficult to make quick weight changes.  David and I both came to the conclusion that a weight chart is in order with well marked weights.  So when your passenger is ready, just look up their weight on the chart and cross reference the required weight in the sub. 

Hank
